Description:
Getting
a taxi in Paris can be hell.
Piers
Chapman expected a boring business trip to Paris.
What
he didn't expect was to fight over a cab with a beautiful girl.
After
a bad meeting, Sidney Roux just wanted to hail a cab, go home, and
have a glass of wine.
She
didn't expect to fight over a cab with some pompous British tourist.
Neither
of them expected another man to jump in their cab.
Or
to be involved in a gun fight.
Or
a car chase through the streets of Paris.
Or
for the man to die.
But
they're thrust together when the mob demands they return what the
dead man stole.
Will
Piers and Sidney work together?
Will
they find what he had stolen?
Will
they stay alive?
And
will they do the last thing they expected?
Will
they fall in love?
Facts about PARIS LOVE MATCH:
What are 5 interesting or noteworthy facts about the book and/or characters?
This doesn’t need to be narrative. It can be bullet points.
1) Sidney’s character is partly based on the minions
from Despicable Me. They’re a fun bunch. They do awful things to each other and
laugh about it. They not mean and don’t get angry, they’re always content, and
always looking to out-do their friends.
2) The dubious café, Terry’s All Time, was an actual greasy
spoon from my past. It was in Leeds in the north of England, not in Paris, but
it did have a door that didn’t fit and an owner that no one could understand
(but that may have been because I only went there after the pubs closed!)
3) My life is imitating art. Piers winds up with a dog
with an endless enthusiasm for walks at one stage. Strangely enough, we’ve also
recently gained a dog (Sidnei) with an endless enthusiasm for walks.
4) Piers’s mum was modelled on the Hyacinth Bucket,
the snob from a British sitcom called Keeping Up Appearances (often on PBS). As
Hyacinth will tell you, it’s not pronounced Bucket, it’s “Bouquet.” Like
Piers’s mum, she often talks to her son on the phone and would have nothing to
do with sending text messages.
5) My publisher, Jillian Dodd, found a great picture
of a guy and a girl in Paris for the cover of the book. When I made the book
trailer I found the same two models in a series of other Paris related images,
which was great for the video http://www.nigelblackwell.com/wp/paris-love-match/.
Since I used them so much, Piers and Sidney’s appearances were updated to
reflect the models!
