Print Edition of Anniki Sommerville’s HANG ON Out Now!

Posted on Thursday, July 22nd, 2021

Anniki Sommerville‘s new novel, HANG ON, is now available in a print edition! Published a couple of months ago in eBook, the novel is published by One More Chapter. Here’s the synopsis…

Kate is not in a meaningful relationship, or in fact any relationship at all. The last loving bond Kate had was with mother, who died a year ago.

Now Kate dreams of being a parent herself, and pouring all of her love into the tiny bundle of happiness that will her love unconditionally in return.

Except without any partner to provide the sperm necessary for the operation, Kate takes matters into her own hands and decides upon a series of random encounters to get what she wants.

No one thinks this is a good idea; not her best friend, her brother or her boss at the bookshop – not even June, one of her elderly customers. Because what they can see, and what Kate can’t, is that it isn’t a baby that she needs at all – it’s something else entirely…

One More Chapter also publishes Sommerville’s debut novel, MOTHERWHELMED. The author’s non-fiction book, HOW TO BE A BOSS AT AGEING is also out now, published by Thread Books — the author also hosts a podcast of the same name, available via Apple and Spotify.

MOTHERWHELMED now out in PB!

Posted on Thursday, April 2nd, 2020

Anniki Sommerville‘s fantastic debut novel, MOTHERWHELMED is out now in a new paperback edition! Published by One More Chapter, here’s the synopsis…

Rebecca is 42, has a beautiful child and a wonderful husband. But she just hasn’t been feeling herself recently…

Rebecca thinks a great night out should involve a packet of Marlboro’s, six double vodkas and snogging a colleague. Not gormlessly drinking a zero-alcohol No-hito while Instagramming a vegan chicken wing.

Rebecca wants to ride on a Harley Davidson, to crowd surf till dawn, then collapse in a heap after swigging from a bottle of Jack Daniels… not sit in a soul-destroying meeting surrounded by ‘blue sky thinking’ and men half her age who interrupt all the time.

She’s had enough of commuting to an office that is so cold people have to wear blankets all day. And she can’t help asking herself why her adorable daughter must spend all week in a containment zone for pre-schoolers.

Rebecca wants to feel that there’s MORE coming her way, rather than less…

In short – Rebecca wants out.

But where to?
