Anyone for Seconds?... or even thirds?
Walsh Communications predict another bestseller with new release Anyone for Seconds? from debut author Fiona Cassidy.
November 2009
Walsh Communications are delighted (and really rather proud!) to announce the release of another stunning debut from the agency – home to some of the brightest new talent around!
This time it’s the turn of Fiona Cassidy, a dynamic, charming and witty young writer from Northern Ireland whose debut novel Anyone for Seconds? was launched this week.
Anyone for Seconds? is published by that powerhouse of fiction, Poolbeg Press, and looks set to take its author Fiona on the path to literary success!
Anyone for Seconds is a hilarious tale of what happens when two families join together to make one brand new one!
Anyone for Seconds?
Meet Frankie McCormick, lone parent to Ben and Carly, PR guru and a woman who finds men who wear glasses irresistible. Enter Owen Byrne (Clark Kent minus the manky Y-fronts). He's sexy, dynamic and is everything a girl could wish for. The one fly in the ointment comes in the form of his horrendous teenage daughter, the seriously misnamed Angelica. The path of true love never runs smooth but for Frankie and Owen the road is particularly treacherous (a minefield would be safer). Family crises, interfering in-laws (or is that outlaws?) and a bittersweet tragedy all culminate to test their relationship while faces from the past threaten their future as a family. Second chances don't pop up very often and when they do it's best to grab them with both hands. Will Frankie and Owen have the courage to stand together and become a family with 2.4 children or is that 3.6 children?
