funny, warm and life-affirming, this is a sparkling story of second chances.
Perfect for fans of Cecelia Ahern, Searching
for a Silver Lining will take
you on a trip you'll never forget.
Miranda's books are simply brilliant and she is so enthusiastic about interacting with her readers, today she has kindly written a piece about what her hopes are for Searching for a Silver Lining:
Every author hopes the
stories they write will resonate with readers. I’m no exception! I want my
readers to have an absolute blast of a ride while reading Searching for a
Silver Lining. I would love to make them laugh, cry, gasp and fall in love with
the characters I’ve created. I think the hardest part of writing a book – apart
from the actual physically demanding job of getting the story from my head to
the paper – is letting it go when it’s finished. Trusting that this story will
find its readers and that other people (most of whom I’ve never met) will take
it to their hearts is the biggest challenge to me as a writer. I have no
control over anyone else’s opinion, so the only thing I can do is to work hard
to make my books the best they can be. I hope the story touches people who read
it. Searching for a Silver Lining is about second chances and the power of
forgiveness – even after a lifetime of hurt. It’s about the amazing places life
can take you, if you’re willing to take the risk. I hope my book will make
people laugh. Let’s face it, there hasn’t been much to laugh about in recent
months. I think my readers deserve something warm and funny, touching and
life-affirming to help combat the gloom we seem to be surrounded by right now.
People often dismiss comedy as flippant and unimportant, but I think it’s
essential to help us make sense of the world we live in. Lastly, I hope readers
feel like I wrote this story just for them. Because I did. Thanks so much for
reading this blog exclusive! For more, follow my Searching for a Silver Lining
blog tour. I really hope you enjoy Mattie’s story!
Thank you to Miranda for writing this lovely piece, make sure you buy the book!!! I'm off to eat Birthday cake now!
