A friend of mine recently self-published her debut novel called Imagine This. I'd like to help her out by posting it on this forum and raise her profile a little bit. She's received some great reviews, but without a multimillion advertising budget, she needs the word of mouth thing to work for her. Check out her website @ www.imaginethisthenovel.com and check out the reviews below. The book is available on Amazon.co.uk

Just finished reading a brilliant book by a friend called Imagine This. There are some reader reviews on Amazon, or check out the review below.

I'm also a friend and have read the book.  It is really, really, really good.  And I'm not biased.  If anyone is interested in meeting her, she's launching Imagine This at the Poetry Cafe in Covent Gdn on the 8th June at 7:30 alongside other African Writers, not sure who they are, but it should be a good night.
