An East Renfrewshire author’s debut novel is to be launched by a leading London-based publisher on March 28.
Plot Twist by Breea Keenan is described as a “pitch-perfect, heart-warming and hilarious Scottish and Irish romantic comedy”, and an “irresistible page turner”, which is “perfect for fans of Catherine Walsh, Annabel Monaghan and Emily Henry.”
Scottish actress Joy McAvoy, known for roles in TV series Two Doors Down and films The Angels' Share and Avengers: Endgame, will narrate the audiobook.
Breea, who lives in Busby with her husband and three children, told the Barrhead News: “I'm excited to work with Headline Publishing to present my debut novel, Plot Twist, to contemporary romance readers.
"I started writing stories from a young age, eventually pursuing a degree and career in journalism and communications and penning poetry and children's picture books.
“As a working mum, I encourage my three children to follow their dreams, so I took a leaf out of my own book to fulfil my ambition of writing a full-length fiction novel.”
The story centres around main character Becca Taylor, who joins fellow writer, Riley O'Connell, in the Irish countryside to work on their novels together, despite never meeting in real life.
Happily-ever-after, however, isn't quite so simple, as Becca discovers Riley is not the sensitive female romance writer she assumed.
With their complicated pasts getting in the way, Becca and Riley just can't get on the same page, but can fate give their love story a rewrite?
"My inspiration for Plot Twist came from working with an online writing group,” added Breea.
“We shared plans, writing extracts and details of everyday life, even though we had never met, just like Becca and Riley in the book.
"Once I started writing, I had to see if there was a 'happily-ever-after' at the end.
"With its Scottish and Irish setting, two places that are close to my heart, I hope Plot Twist appeals to readers looking for escapism, laughter, and love, with a few emotional twists and turns along the way."
Plot Twist is priced at £10.99, and is available to pre-order by clicking HERE.
