Liz Rettig

My name is Liz Rettig and I am an author. Luckily I had an unhappy childhood, an angst ridden adolescence, and my adult years have been characterised by an almost unremitting catalogue of failures. The ideal background then to nurture an author's talent.

I live in Glasgow with my husband and two children who have asked me to point out that none of the characters in my novels is remotely based on them.  Aye right!  And if you believe that you’ll believe anything.

Glasgow is not a good place to live if, like me, you have fine curly hair which tends to frizz in the rain as it almost always at least drizzles here. There are good things about the place though. We Glaswegians console ourselves for our lousy weather by eating lots of junk food, drinking excessive amounts of alcohol and smoking. If you are able to show restraint in any of these areas, for example you eat your Mars Bars without first deep frying them, then you can feel smug. If not, you'll feel at home. My daughter tells me that Glasgow is also a great place for clubbing but I haven't embarrassed her yet by investigating this.

Second only to my husband and son my favourite male is my agent Guy Rose who is worth his weight in gold. If you are a talented author who has just completed a sure fire bestseller and looking for an agent then please don't contact him. It would only make me jealous. If however you are a publisher, TV producer or Hollywood film director who wishes to offer me a lucrative contract/option then please contact Guy Rose.

Any questions, comments or bitter complaints about this website or my books can be emailed to me.

  Synopsis

Seventeen-year-old Kelly Ann leaves behind her boyfriend, family and friends in Glasgow to live and work in a London hotel for the summer.  But losing her luggage and fending off tube gropers on her first day isn't a good start.  Almost being arrested for stealing men's underwear on her second isn't any better.  However she does manage to make friends, even though, to impress her new pals, she pretends to be older and more sophisticated than she is, with a doctor boyfriend.  London life is fun, even though she has to work in a steaming hot kitchen all day.  But her made-up life starts to get very complicated, and she has to rely on old friends to save the day.
