My Book and My Coffee

Happy Weekend, lovelies! :) Today, I am very happy to introduce Lorraine Campbell and Pam Burks, author of When Good Friends Go Bad (which is actually free this weekend in honor of National Friendship Day). They have prepared a friend-themed guest post that I'm sure you will find interesting. 

You'll definitely enjoy this one... I DID! :)

Girlfriends are loyal, caring and support you through the hard times. You share secrets, heartbreaks, weep on each other’s shoulders. But what if it all goes wrong? What happens when you suspect she no longer has your best interests at heart?  In other words…When Good Friends Go Bad?

Here are a few signs that it’s time to let her go.
  1. She’s been texting your boyfriend – and NOT to arrange your surprise birthday party.
  2. She forwards your gossipy, bitchy, wildly indiscrete email to her entire contact list.
  3. She chooses the fanciest restaurants, orders the most expensive wine and sticks you with the bill.
  4. She shoplifts while you’re with her and gets you both arrested.
  5. She crashes your car while drunk then blithely admits she has no insurance.
  6. She uses you as her alibi then reveals to the world that the two of you were lying.
  7. She posts a horrendous photo of you cross-eyed drunk – and uses it as her screensaver.
  8. She offers to babysit for your vital meeting and cancels just as you’re leaving the house. 
  9. She makes a pass at your dad… in front of your mum.
  10. She dates your brother and breaks his heart.
  11. You can never get through on her cellphone – the bitch has blocked you.
  12. She’s unfriended you from Facebook – do you need more clues?

About the Author:


We are Lorraine Campbell and Pam Burks, two (of four) sisters separated by the Atlantic Ocean and now connected as xco-authors of Ellie Campbell, an excuse for endless phone conversations and countless daily emails.  Our novels How To Survive Your Sisters and When Good Friends Go Bad, published by Arrow (UK) and available world-wide, were recently launched by Amazon in the USA, along with our latest, Looking For La La (which just reached #1 in Kindle Free Top 100 bestsellers.)  We are equally passionate about writing, travel, horses, dogs, and the great outdoors.  Originally from Scotland, Pam now lives in Reigate, not far from London, with fitness-obsessed husband, three grown children and a Norfolk Terrier, while Lorraine is on a 10 acre Colorado ranch near wild and wonderful Boulder with her amazingly-tolerant spouse, three white horses, five cats, one black fuzzy whoodle dog and ten chickens.  We both believe in enjoying life to the fullest, be it digging up carrots in the allotment, listening to audio books while scooping manure in the corrals, or going on a trail ride in the beautiful Rocky Mountains.   And we’re utterly convinced all our problems can be solved by a glass of wine, a bar of chocolate and a good laugh with friends.

You can find them at their website, Facebook and Twitter.

More about their book, When Good Friends Go Bad. It's FREE from August 2 to 4.

Get it here for free (August 2 to 4 only)

Can you ever learn to forgive and forget?

All through school, tomboy Jen, snobby Georgina, hippy Meg and gentle Rowan, were inseparable. Until, that is, the unfortunate consequences of a childish prank tore them apart. As adults an attempted reunion went disastrously wrong. Rowan failed to appear. Meg behaved outrageously and - sharpest cut of all - Jen discovered just how deeply Georgina had betrayed her.

So now, a mother herself, in the midst of divorce, the last thing Jen needs is a call from Meg. Or is it? Will Meg’s strange mission to track down the missing Rowan re-open old wounds or is it a chance to heal the rift – or to recover Jen’s never-forgotten, first true love? As their quest unearths secrets and feelings best left buried, Jen, Meg and Georgina will be tested on love, loyalty, and friendship, discover the truth about Rowan – and wake a danger that threatens them all.

Here's a short chat with the author of HEADACHE: Crystal Marcos

Hi Crystal! First of all, I want to sincerely thank you for taking the time to chat with me. It’s an honor to have you here @ My Book and My Coffee. I have 6 questions to ask you and hope you can answer all of them. :) 

Can you tell us a little about yourself? 
Thank you so much for having me! I am excited to be chatting with you. I am a Pacific Northwest resident, mom to a 3 year old little girl, and a wife to a loving man. I am the oldest of 5 children. I value family time and love game nights. I enjoy reading and sharing my love of reading with my little girl. I love cooking, baking, and party planning. I am also an award winning children's author.

Did you always want to be a children’s author or a writer for that matter? 
I have. My mother saved books and stories from when I was younger. I had a good chuckle reading some of them. I always saw myself writing for children. Recently, I decided to write for young adults. I am currently working on my first YA novel.

I haven’t read Bellyache and Headache yet but I will be reading them soon. From the book descriptions and reviews I found, they both sound so magical and full of lessons that I feel even an adult would love to be reminded of every now and then. What inspired you to create these books? 
When I set out to write my first book, I wanted it to be something I would want my own child to read someday. I wanted it to be a book my readers would never forget. A story they would want to tell their friends about. I also kept in mind that many adults, including myself, read children's books. I wanted it to be a magical book everyone would enjoy at any age.

If you have to choose one book to be your favorite, which book will it be? You must be thinking, “Just one?” It’s a tough question, I know. But if you have to and you just have to, which book would you choose as your absolute favorite? 
Since we are talking children's books, I would have to say my favorite children's book is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I love the tales of Roald Dahl!

Coffee, hot cocoa or sweet tea?  
Hot cocoa, hot cocoa, hot cocoa! If you haven't already noticed with the books I wrote, my favorite children's book choice, and the hot cocoa, I have a soft spot for sweets! I just made Pumpkin White Hot Chocolate. Here is the recipe for anyone else with a sweet tooth! 
http://www.goodlifeeats.com/2010/10/pumpkin-white-hot-chocolate.html

I know you like to cook and bake… What’s your favorite thing to bake or cook? And are you willing to share the recipe? Ehem ehem :) 
Oh goodness, there are so many things I like to make. I absolutely love trying new recipes and new things. Honestly, I usually find a recipe I like and put my own spin on things. In the kitchen I live by the motto, "A recipe is just a guide." I'll share one of the big winners. They have no idea I didn't slave in the kitchen to make it. It is fairly simple and a recipe for the busy mom. I use reduced fat cream cheese, no one can tell the difference. Also I have used chocolate cake mix and took out the lemon juice and it tastes like Oreo cookie bars!
