Thigh High is released today at Ellora’s Cave. This book is full on Aussie – speech and characters – and it hasn’t been toned down or Americanized, as my books usually are, to fit into the market. How will it go? Stuffed if I know - but it was beaut fun to write.
Thigh High is basically about Aussies – the way we talk and think and carry on. We’re a straight forward mob. We say what we think and we make no apologies for being to the point. This – and our use of slang - often confuses other nationalities. We mean no harm. We are as you find us – casual, outspoken and always ready to take the piss (pull your leg). And yes, it’s true, all the men look like Hugh Jackman…would I lie to you?
Thigh High….the blurb…..
Fourteen years ago, Joe Patterson left the small outback town of Amberwarra Falls and broke Maz Adler’s heart. Now he’s back. Hotter and sexier than Maz remembered. It’s hard holding a grudge when you want to hold a luscious man tight against you and lick every hard, hot curve. But the man needs to be taught a lesson and Maz is the girl to do it.
Joe came back home for one reason. Maz. Problem is, Maz isn’t about to open her arms and allow him back into her life and her body. But Joe has a plan to seduce his lover and break down Maz’s resistance. His aim? Her total surrender. And he’s going to enjoy every hot, sweaty moment loving her under the Aussie sun.
Someone sent me this….it just cracked me up…
MEMO to Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and Tourism Australia: Please send more kangaroos to Australia's international airports.
”I, like every other stupid American, assumed the kangaroos would meet us at the airport and they would want to hug us as much as we wanted to hug them,” Bell said in an interview in Los Angeles.
”That's really the perspective we have here.
”Going there kind of opened my eyes that that's not the case.”

Spoiler alert…I’m sorry to report there are no huggable kangaroos in Thigh High.

Congratulations!!! Have a lovely release day!
Congrats. I'm on my way now to buy this book. Can't wait to read it.
LOL. Somehow, I didn't expect to see any kangaroos around an airport or city area in Australia or anywhere. I really don't expect to see wild animals in any city - well, not big ones, anyway.
That would be like coming to or Florida and expecting to see alligators roaming all over the place or dolphins when you go to the beach. In twenty years of living here, I've never seen either. Still, just in case, I'm not unfencing my yard by the canal and I'm not going to hang out by the canal.
Way to go, Amarinda. Wishing you many sales.
