Wishing MarinaLReed a very happy release day for this sizzling summer read. This perfect beach companion will keep you warm no matter the weather. Bring a fan. You’re going to need it.

Valerie Pert has built a good life: a career as a producer, two daughters, a husband, a home. On paper, she has everything.

So what’s missing?

Passion! When Val has a steamy encounter with an old flame on a work trip, she feels herself coming back to life. She begins to remember what it feels like to be seen, to be daring, to tingle. She discovers that desire doesn’t fade with age. Valerie now faces a question she’s been avoiding for years.

What does she actually want?

Will she return to a life where she felt lost and invisible or embrace who she wants and needs to be?

A s*xy, sophisticated novel about rediscovering yourself and learning it’s never too late to want more; the kind of book readers won’t stop whispering about.

It’s a big important deal to ensure online ordering sites can, indeed, fulfil orders. And though it’s been a bit of a debacle, I’m happy to report that Milksop (and other CHP books) can be successfully ordered through Indigo.

The biggest help for this small press would be to walk into the store and request the book, that gives them on-the-floor proof that there is a demand. And while there’s no greater ROI for CHP than direct orders through chickenhousepress.ca, bookstore orders still allow me to support my authors with royalty payments for every single book purchased.
