On Saturday 4th August I was very excited to receive a huge feature article in my local newspaper ‘The Nelson Mail’ titled When Fiction Tells The Truth by Naomi Arnold. Although the article touched on a few sensitive issues it was written beautifully by a very talented, and understanding journalist.
Hopefully this interview will help you understand this new genre of book that i lovingly call ‘Reality Fiction’. The Lighter Side of Large is more than chicklit, it’s more than humorous, its much more the women’s fiction. The Lighter Side of Large is ‘Reality Fiction’ these is my real thoughts, real life, real emotions, real hurts, real life, poured out on paper but wrapped up in a fictionised story. That is why it works, that is why you relate to the story in so many ways, that is why you love Bella and I and feel like you know us because we are one. Read this article to understand more of my thoughts behind this new genre of fiction.
