Hi everyone, I would like to introduce my
great friend Maggie Nash. We go back a long way and it’s exciting to have her
as my very first guest. Maggie is going to share with us, Reading in all the Best Places. She also has a new book Kinky Bet coming out very soon.
READING IN ALL THE BEST PLACES
By Maggie Nash
Thank you so much for inviting me here
today Layne. I’m always hard to shut up,
as you know…hahaha…so when you asked me to drop by how could I refuse?
I’m talking about a topic that is very near
and dear to my heart. Reading in crazy places.

There are so many different places you can
read. That’s the great thing about it. All you need is a book or a reading
device, and enough light. I’ve heard of
people reading at the top of trees, in lifts, in church, in the bathroom, and
even “shock horror”, while
driving. Some of the strangest places
I’ve seen people reading include that one time when a committee I was on
decided to go out to dinner. We didn’t know each other well at the time, but
after we sat down and were getting acquainted, one of the committee members
pulled out a book from her handbag, turned her back on the rest of us and
started reading it. To say we were
gobsmacked is an understatement!
Okay, I
can understand being so involved in a book that I have to keep reading it, no
matter what, so maybe I shouldn’t be so harsh. There was that time that I was
driving home from work and kept opening the book to read it when I was stopped
at traffic lights. I got beeped so many times that day! Don’t do that at home folks! In my defence, I
had been working night shift and reading the book at work and I was in a brain
fog from lack of sleep!
So go on
folks – tell me your secrets. What crazy places have you been caught reading?
One lucky
commenter will be chosen to win an advanced copy of my April 29 release “Kinky
Bet” – so go ahead and spill!
(I have to thank the very lovely Lami
Mentzas for the topic. When I sent out a call for ideas she responded almost
immediately. What a great topic – thanks Lami! Where else do you get a blog
topic from but on Facebook?)
I’m Maggie
Nash and I write romance novels. Some of them are suspenseful, some are
pretty hot, and some of them are a little bit kinky, but what they all have in
common is a fun, romantic ending.
I started writing more by accident than
design when one day I ran out of books to read so I started writing one myself.
And boy am I glad I did, because writing has become a huge part of my life.
I
live with my family on the beautiful south coast of New South Wales in
Australia. You can find me most days having a cappuccino at the beach!
Thanks for having me here today Layne!
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome, Maggie, thank you for sharing.
DeleteI took a book to hospital when I was in labour with child #3 much to my husbands horror. He knew I would get lost in the story and ignore him - poor petal needed support.
ReplyDeleteSo you had an epidural in right??? LMAO!
DeleteHi Maggie! I like to read in the bathroom. Its quiet and the chances of people asking me to do things that take me away from reading are quite slim LOL! In fact, if I could make sure the steam didn't affect my books, I would build a library in there.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Lami
I have to confess, I have been known to hide in the bathroom to read :-)
DeleteI can't choose a winner...so Donna and Lami both win! Thanks so much for dropping by! I'll email you both :-)
