Bestselling co-author of Seriously Funny, Jeff Lucas, returns to writing fiction with his new book Up Close and Personal.
Up Close and Personal – What Helen Did Next is the sequel to Jeff‟s first piece of fiction, Helen Sloane’s Diary published in 2008 by Authentic Media.
The book follows the insightful, sometimes painful and often hilarious antics and musings of 27 year old Christian, Helen Sloane, as she struggles to find love, battles with grief and juggles life as a social worker and member of New Wave Christian Fellowship at Frenton-on-Sea.
Battling with relationships, men and her career, Helen is coming to terms with the death of her father, whilst trying to live out her Christian life and help find a new pastor for their church.
Corruption, chaos, passion, laughter, tears and thought-provoking lines are the ingredients of this page-turning read.
Jeff commented: "Writing as a 27 year old Christian woman is quite a lot of fun, so I decided to do it again.
"Helen Sloane was an interesting experiment, which my friends in America just don‟t get. They say: 'How can a 54 year old grey Christian man write as a young Christian woman?'”
"But the idea behind it was to use story, humour and some fun
to explore interesting issues that most Christians face every day.‟
Up Close and Personal is out now from Authentic Media, priced £7.99
