Roses are Red

by Debbie Flint, Mary Jane Hallowell, Tina K. Burton

1. 'Battle of the Exes' - by Debbie Flint. Widow Fiona is a former A-list Celeb, whose old pal persuades her to take part in a reality show to find a new husband from amongst her (many) former lovers. The winning 'Ex' will get a suitcase full of cash, or her hand in marriage. But as recording begins, Fiona realises there’s something very odd about the TV studio… And there's something equally odd about Dominic, charming host of the show. Will Fiona find out what, before it's too late?

2. Rosie Dean – ‘There may be Truffle Ahead.’ A competition to create a new kind of chocolate, judged by hunky Jim from Juniper Farm, takes Bibi on a path she never expected.

3. Debbie Flint - ‘Valentine’s Surprise’ – it’s never too late to find your Sir Lancelot – even for Grandma in trouble, Grace. First written for readers of Debbie's QVC blog.

4. Rosie Dean - You can Call me Fab! - Ever been tempted by a flashy guy in an even flashier car? Ever succumbed to temptation?

5. Tina K Burton – ‘Roses are Red.’
'We will be together, every day – Always and Forever,' Richard told her. And if Alice had her way, Valentine’s Day would be no exception.

6. Debbie Flint - ‘When Dreams Return.’
Spooky goings-on when Chelle stops grieving and begins redeveloping an old abandoned Victorian House, whilst her best friend Sara is determined to use a ‘how to find a husband’ spell to make this a Hallowe’en to remember. First published 2014, included in ‘Hocus Pocus ’14,’ a Hallowe’en anthology.


Bonus 7th Story - Mary Jane Hallowell - ‘Cynara’. ‘Do not open the envelope you got this morning, it was all a big mistake,’ Sophie reads. But as Charlie, her husband, continues acting strangely, can she ignore the mysterious letter.

Edited by Debbie Flint


With a theme of loss and salvation, every story has a twist in the 'tale.'

About the author

When you're 12 and your teacher says 'please finish your creative writing homework - I'm dying to find out what happens...' it makes you think about your future. So I promptly signed up to become... an accountant. Then a radio and TV presenter, now a QVC shopping channel presenter. But at least I get to do a weekly blog - on qvcuk.com - (12,000-17,000 views per week) - always longer than they should be, 'cos - of course - I'm supposed to be writing!

'Serial writing course attender', RNA New Writers' Scheme, and script-writer wannabe, I am loving having finally finished my first trilogy of steamy romantic novels ('Hawaiian Escape/Affair/Retreat'). Now available on paperback on amazon - PG available too if you don't want steamy version!

There's another book called 'Till the Fat Lady Slims' too - a semi autobiographical weight loss book which is being updated for September 2014. it helped me lose 35lb in the early 2000's so give it a go if you fancy. Actually, opt for eBook then you can always get a refund if it's not your cup of black tea!

Plus, there's a couple of short stories - with more on the way! From gentle Valentine's romances to a spooky supernatural one, and watch out for more this Hallowe'en!

Finally, there's always my only paid commission (so far) - good old 'Clive the Camel' - a very short kids' story, broadcast by Buena Vista (Disney) 'Rise and Shine' breakfast show from the early 90's. Considering the file was written about eight computers ago, finding it would be a tall order! One day... : - )

My next project will be based on 'how to find a husband' and it's going to be a script first - with a time-slip plot, partly current day, party 1930's.

Would love to connect with you and if you've read any of my titles so far, do let me know what you think! Twitter, facebook or via my website!
