Wyer to the hotseat here at Celtic Connexions today. Make yourself comfortable Carol and we&#8217;ll get started.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.melanierobertson-king.com\/wp02\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/carol.bmp\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-3605\" src=\"http:\/\/www.melanierobertson-king.com\/wp02\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/carol.bmp\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>So, tell us a bit about yourself. What makes Carol E. Wyer who she is?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Crumbs! I\u2019m not entirely sure since I don\u2019t really know who Carol E Wyer is other than a humorous author and lover of life, but I think I became a comedienne of sorts a long time ago when I was at school. Being an army brat I moved about so often I never had the chance to make proper friends. Each time we moved I had to try harder to get into groups where friendships had already been forged and the easiest way to do that was to be the class clown. I developed an ability to make people laugh very early on in life aided by the fact that I smashed my front teeth out when I was seven and had false teeth which I could take out at whim. Everyone cracked up when I \u2018gurned\u2019 at them. I was quite a mimic too so I could also do great impressions which made people chuckle. I learned pretty early on in life not to take myself seriously and it has spilled into adulthood.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>What made you decide to go indie with your novels <em>Mini Skirts and Laughter<\/em> Lines and <em>Surfing in Stilettos<\/em>? Did you try the traditional route first?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">I was pretty familiar with the traditional route because years ago I sat for weeks with The Writer\u2019s handbook bombarding publishers and agents alike with copies of my children\u2019s books.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">After a telephone sized book of rejection slips I actually got a publisher interested in my work and they were keen to offer me a deal. Sadly, my illustrator for the books passed away suddenly and as it was a joint venture I didn\u2019t take up the opportunity to go ahead with a different illustrator.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">When I finished <em>Mini Skirts and Laughter Lines<\/em> I sent my script off to agents who I felt could best represent me. I got some very positive rejections and would have continued in my quest to find an agent had I not stumbled across YouWriteOn. I liked the idea of uploading my chapter, getting feedback and having my script looked at by a publishing house if it did well. <em>Mini Skirts and Laughter Lines<\/em> has been in the top ten of my publisher\u2019s chart for six months now and as a reward my script is currently awaiting a critique from Orion so we\u2019ll see what happens next.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">With <em>Surfing in Stilettos<\/em> I was actually offered a contract with a publisher but after a sleepless night I decided to stick with FeedARead (who used to be YouWriteOn). That way I get better royalties, I am in control of my book and I like the way FeedAread operate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">I have however signed a two book deal with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thornberrypublishing.com\/\">ThornBerry Publishing<\/a> to produce the eBook to <em>Surfing in Stilettos <\/em>and it will be released on October 8<sup>th<\/sup> so I am pretty excited about that.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>You&#8217;ve won some prestigious indie awards. Can you tell us about them?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">I\u2019ve been pretty lucky with awards and picked up the Readers Views Reviewer\u2019s Choice 2012 Award for humour. I got lots of stickers to put on my books for that and a terrific review from them. I received an invitation to the award ceremony in New York at the plaza hotel and got a huge Silver medal for the Indie Book Awards 2012. I couldn\u2019t attend the ceremony but I have the medal and some more stickers. I got finalist placing for 2012 Indie Excellence awards again for humour and <em>Mini Skirts and Laughter Lines<\/em> is a semi-finalist Kindle Book Review Best Indie Book of 2012. I have my fingers crossed for that and results are to be announced September 1<sup>st<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">I\u2019m even prouder of <em>Surfing in Stilettos<\/em> which is a Costa award nominee and is entered for a couple of other highly prestigious awards.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>What was your reaction when you landed your contract with ThornBerry Publishing?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">I did that stupid victory dance that very happy people do (or very drunk people attempt to do) and made Hubby buy me some Cava to celebrate with.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>Can you tell us about future projects&#8230; works in progress?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">I am currently working on <em>Follow You, Follow Me<\/em>, another humorous novel but has a dark side to it. It must be good because Hubby has laughed at it and he doesn\u2019t laugh at much these days. I hope to have it ready by the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>About Carol:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An ex teacher and linguist Carol used to live and work in Casablanca until the late eighties when she returned to the UK, set up a language company and settled down to married life.<\/p>\n<p>When her son finally left the nest a couple of years ago Carol took up writing full time.
