About the Book

A hilarious and honest British mom's madcap adventures in suburbia, from Amazon UK bestselling author Aimee Horton! Dottie Harris has a knack for stumbling into chaotic situations, gin & tonic in hand. When Dottie and Henry Harris move to their new house, Dottie's only desire is to make friends in the neighbourhood. But Dottie, just home from delivering her third child, is struggling to adjust to village life. Recently promoted Henry travels a lot, and the neighbours aren't very welcoming (although that could be because when Dottie first met them, she had dyed her children green). So when Dottie accidentally hears her neighbours' conversations over her baby monitor, she can't help but use the sneaky information in her quest to build new friendships. Of course, eavesdropping never ends well, and when Dottie discovers that two of her neighbours are having an affair, she's horrified. Worse still, the locals are convinced she's the one who's doing the cheating. It's up to Dottie to clear her name and uncover (and expose) the real cheat-in her signature haphazard way! A humorous blend between chick lit and cozy mystery, this funny novel will have you laughing along with gin-drinking amateur sleuth Dottie! Interview with the Author What was your inspiration to write the Survival series? Mainly my friends and family! I'd bump into people and they'd comment on how my Facebook updates made them smile after a bad day with the kids. And was born "Survival of the Ginnest," a book in the style of social networking Dottie turned into somebody people wanted to read more of, and the ideas of the predicaments she could get into kept coming thick and fast-and the series was born! It seems these books could fit into several genres. How would you categorize them? I like to say Bridget Jones' Diaries meets The Nanny Diaries, with a little cozy mystery thrown in. While Dottie is a fictional character, her struggles are real. So anyone who enjoys parenting humor or parenting books in general will enjoy the Survival series. And those who enjoy romantic comedies, chick lit, humor, or women's fiction will enjoy Dottie's adventures. What sets Dottie apart, and how is her story different from all the other funny chick lit and cozy mysteries out there? I think, in fact, part of what attracts people to this series is that Dottie's struggles AREN'T different from everyone else's. However, the way she tells them IS different. "Survival of the Ginnest" is comprised of fictional social media updates that are about as honest as you can get. Dottie shares everything, even some of her not-so-fine parenting moments. The other books in the series, "Mothers Ruined" and "Survival of the Christmas Spirit," are traditional novels but contain Dottie's unique brand of humour and knack for getting into trouble! What order should I read the books in? Each book in the Survival series can stand alone, but like gin and tonic, they go great together! I would recommend the following order: - Mothers Ruined - Survival of the Ginnest - Survival of the Christmas Spirit - Lush in Translation If you enjoy fun, light reads with a humorous look at parenting (and drinking gin!), you'll enjoy the Survival Series. Thanks for reading!

About the Author :
Aimee is from Lincoln, England, where she enjoys drinking gin and spending time with her family (and she won't tell you which of those she prefers doing). As a child, one of her favourite parts of the summer holidays was to devour all the books in a little book shop in Devon. She continued reading at lightning speed right up until having children. She now reads with eyes propped open by match sticks.
