Glynis Astie will be on tour in July with her chick lit novel French Toast. I am looking for book bloggers to post reviews, guest posts, interviews, and excerpts for this tour. PDF copies will be available worldwide and print books will be available for US/CA residents. The first book in the series, French Twist, will be available if you would like to read that as well. Please use the form below to join the tour. Thank you!
Summary:
Sydney Bennett is back! And her pursuit of perfection is alive and well. Naïve to the core, Sydney believed
that when she finally married the man of her dreams, the hard part was over. Following a civil ceremony as a
means to keep Louis from being deported, Sydney continues to plan the fairytale wedding that she had
dreamed of since the age of five. Much to her chagrin, she discovers that her mother-in-law is planning what
seems to be a rival wedding in France that SHE has been dreaming about for her only child since before he
was born. How will poor Sydney be able to ensure two perfect weddings in the midst of Louis’ fruitless job
search? Especially when her mother-in-law’s idea of perfection appears to be having Sydney embarrass herself
in front of hundreds of French people that she has never met? As if she didn’t have enough on her mind
already, Sydney finds herself faced with the trials and tribulations of being a wife. Sydney had always heard
that marriage was hard, but she thought that this was just a ruse that married couples portrayed in a bid to
make single girls feel less desperate. But as the bills pile up and emotions run high, she realizes that there may
just be some truth to this statement. And as she watches Louis’ perfection fade away before her very eyes, she
begins to wonder if she made a rash decision in marrying a man that she had known for a mere six months.
With all of the obstacles that Sydney and Louis will encounter, will they be raising their glasses in celebration
or watching their impulsive marriage crash and burn? One thing is for certain, Sydney and Louis Durand are
headed for one hell of a toast…
Glynis Astie Bio
Glynis grew up as the youngest of three children in Rockland County, New York. Her mother remarried
when she was six and she gained not only an amazing father, but three wonderful sisters. She graduated
Magna Cum Laude from Northwestern University and worked in Social Service for two years before
transitioning to Human Resources. After thirteen years in Human Resources, she decided to make good on
her promise to write a book. Rather than detailing the years of bizarre employee relations issues she had
encountered (as this may land her in more than a bit of trouble), she elected to write the story of how she met
and married her husband, Sebastien, in six short months.
It is true that the story had always been a crowd pleaser. What woman wouldn’t want to be swept off of her
feet by a handsome young Frenchman? Glynis decided that it was time that a dose of reality were included to
complete the picture. While she felt lucky to have met the love of her life, it was certainly not the image of
perfection imagined by many. The end result, French Twist, is humorous, sweet and undeniably real. And
because this novel chronicles merely the beginning of an epic love story, Glynis has just released the sequel,
French Toast, and is working on the final installment in the series, French Fry.
Unfortunately, Glynis’ parents, who were so lovingly memorialized in French Twist did not live to see its
production. She imagines them holed up in a coffee shop in another realm arguing about who was
misrepresented more. She is sure that her father has made a list of edits…
Glynis currently lives in Westchester, New York with her incredibly romantic husband and two angelic sons.
When she is not writing she is usually rushing to the gym, wracking her brain to remember third grade math
to help her son with his homework, rescuing toys from certain destruction down the toilet and keeping a
tenuous hold on her sanity by consuming whatever chocolate is in the vicinity.
