Lucy Clarke, the author of our Book Corner title this month, The Sea Sisters, talks about her best writing moment so far…

Hearing the news that The Sea Sisters had been picked for the Richard and Judy list was very exciting. I was in the Philippines researching for a future novel when I got the call. My editor said, ‘I’ve got some wonderful news for you. The Sea Sisters has been chosen to be in the Richard & Judy Book Club. Congratulations, Lucy!’ I think I babbled something like, ‘Oh my god, oh my god! That’s amazing ! I can’t believe it!’

My husband and I celebrated at a beach bar called Sea Slugs, drinking local rum and coke and listening to a band play. I had to keep the news confidential until Richard and Judy made their official announcement. It’s lucky I was abroad as I was grinning so much that everyone back home would’ve guessed!

I’m Laura. I started Novel Kicks in 2009. I wanted a place to post my writing as well as give other writers like me the opportunity to do the same. There is also a monthly book club, a writing room which features writing prompts, book reviews, competitions, author interviews and guest posts.

I grew up by the sea (my favourite place in the world) and I currently live in Hampshire. I am married to Chris, have a cat named Buddy and I would love to be a writer. I’m trying to write the novel I’ve talked so much about writing if only I could stop pressing delete. I’ve loved writing since creative writing classes in primary school. I have always wanted to see my teacher Miss Sayers again and thank her for the encouragement. When not trying to write the novel or writing snippets of stories on anything I can get my hands on, I love reading, dancing like a loon and singing to myself very badly. My current obsession is Once Upon a Time and I would be happy to live with magic in the enchanted forest surrounded by all those wonderful stories provided that world also included Harry Potter. I love reading chick lit. contemporary fiction and novels with mystery.
