About this ebook

Gabbi Sinclair is trying to pick up the pieces after a failed relationship. And though she doesn't realise it at first, the hang-ups it's left her with about women. She decides the best thing to do is pick up that life and attempt to claw back the lost years of her youth, where it was a decade ago. Where better to do it than a Greek island full of women. Easy enough, right?
  
Laugh, cringe and cry with (or at) Gabbi on her adventures and the, often awkward, situations she finds herself in. She questions everything, including her sanity, in her quest to find normality in this life. 

Gabbi confides in two things: her best friend James and her diary.

"I hate myself. I'm an idiot. I'm hiding. What is wrong with me? You'd think I would learn. I'm acting like a teenager. In fact, no, even as a teenager I wasn't so bloody stupid!...I really really really should not drink. Ugh. It's what, gone 1pm and I've only just managed to escape. From where exactly? I'm not sure, some house somewhere several streets away in a maze... One minute I'm riding through town squeezed between two women on a motorbike, and the next I'm being served breakfast in bed, complete with flowers fresh from the garden on the tray, and kisses on the forehead like we were lovers on a Valentine getaway. All I can hear are echoes of 'Ne ne ne ne ne' like a Greek Herbal Essence advert. Shoot me."

Neve Fontaine

For many writers, the beginnings of writing a novel are times filled with apprehension, excitement and, narcissists aside, a journey (into the unknown) filled with self doubt, loathing, many calls for resolve, and caffeine. Remove running water, power (yes, that'll be electricity, including light) add a leaking roof, a blocked chimney (frequently swept using tent pole with a pine branch shoved in the end), curious neighbours (noses to the window on occasion), though, the only company on a mountain top location - equals, for anyone acclimatised to modern living, possibly, an added challenge to a writer. However, A Dangling Fish was, eventually, written. Neve wrote the first 50'000 words in a tent. The entire first draft, over 90'0000 words was written in pencil. The rest of the novel was completed using solar power, a mere 80w panel, a 12 year old laptop, on a mountain top in Spain. When she's not writing, or fixing things, Neve likes to take photographs, bake biscuits (she says she's almost perfected a recipe, using some of the 20kg mixed bags of almond, walnut, and hazelnuts she's collected, but needs more practice, sampling), and play guitar (she says it's soothing, or cathartic when 'rocking out'). This book costs about the same as a UK pint (the south, airports and posh places excluded) there's a sequel in the making, and there's also something else completely different, which Neve says she can't write from her isolated mountain top location because it will scare the sh*t out of her - it's inspired by the teddy bears and kids shoes she keeps finding, unearthed by wild boar, amongst the adjacent olive groves. So, if you like her style, and want to read more books by Neve Fontaine, please buy this book. Neve also says, after being single for an embarrassing number of years (ahem), it gets lonely sometimes. She doesn't 'like' facebook, so you won't find her there, but Neve is on Twitter: @neve_fontaine. You can also visit her website: nevefontaine.co.nf
