Title: Our Beautiful
Child
Author: Annalisa
Crawford
Release date: 10th
June 2014
Publisher: Battered
Suitcase Press
“The Boathouse collects misfits. Strange solitary creatures that yearn
for contact with the outside world, but not too much. They sit, glass in hand,
either staring at the table in front of them, or at some distant point on the
horizon.”
…
so says the narrator of Our Beautiful Child. And he’s been around long enough
to know.
People
end up in this town almost by accident. Ella is running away from her
nightmares, Sally is running away from the memories of previous boyfriends and
Rona is running away from university. Each of them seek sanctuary in the 18th
century pub, The Boathouse; but in fact, that’s where their troubles begin.
Ella
finds love, a moment too late; Rona discovers a beautiful ability which needs
refining before she gets hurt; and Sally meets the captivating Murray, who
threatens to ruin everything.
Three
women. Three stories. One pub.
ABOUT
THE AUTHOR
I live in Cornwall UK,
with a good supply of beaches and moorland right on my doorstep to keep me
inspired. I live with my husband, two sons, a dog and a cat.
Despite my location,
I neither surf nor sail, and have never had any inclination to try. I much
prefer walking along a deserted beach and listening to the waves crashing over
rocks. For this reason, I really love the beach in the winter!

Thanks for sharing this Nick :-)
(PS. It's a novella collection, not a novel.)
Congratulations and best of luck, Annalisa!
Let's keep spreading the word for Annalisa. Can't wait to get my hands on a copy.
Congratulations, Annalisa!
Congrats on your upcoming book, Annalisa.
I like the idea of a novella collection! And I'm with you about walking on the beach - I don't need to go into the sea so much as to be near it. :)

For a last-minute gig, you made the rounds pretty well. LOL
She's probably tired of hearing me say it, but, "Love the cover, Annalisa." :D
No. On second thought, she probably isn't. :P
Woot! Looking forward to release day!

Thank you, everyone, and especially to Nick, again.
Melissa, you're right - for a last minute gig, it turned out amazingly well :-)
Beautiful cover and I love the premise. I also love that Annalisa prefers walking the beach over surfing and sailing. I'm the same way...there just aren't any beaches near us. Just lakes.
Major congrats to Annalisa! I wish her huge success.
And a happy Wednesday to you, Nick.
Congrats! That's a really arresting cover!

Hi, Nick! Hope all is well!
Seeing her all over the place! Very cool :)
I've been seeing this cover pop up all over the blogosphere. Congrats to Annalisa!
Congratulations on that cool cover!
Great coverage for this book. Congratulations.
My captivation with the cover and title of this book is further supported by the description of the story. There is something mystifying about the title and yet, seems so mysteriously different from what has been briefly described. Very interesting to say the least. Thanks for sharing=)
Beautiful cover. And I love Annalisa's writing.
Not only is the cover great, but the characters sound so interesting that I know I'll love them already. Thanks for sharing!
