Sisi & Sonia - the sexually charged thriller from Nic Penrake – available in paperback online

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) February 17, 2010 -- Sisi & Sonia is a first time novel by British writer Nic Penrake, published by YouWriteOn.com. The publisher is funded largely by the Arts Council. Their remit has been to flush out new talent and provide selected authors with a distribution deal on almost all the major booksellers’ websites, from amazon to Barnes & Noble.

Already, through facebook groups, the book is being talked about and recommended. What the author now needs is a conventional publisher to come in and boost the word of mouth by giving the book some physical presence in bookstores. Then we really are talking.

The same day as suicide bombers shock London, dentist Anthony Price is involved in an accident at a swimming pool that shatters the routine of his existence. Pushed off the top dividing board by an unruly adolescent, he falls on a beautiful Thai girl in the water below, cracking one of her front teeth. In the aftermath, Price gets to know the girl, first as his patient called Sisira, then intimately as an escort called Sonia.

Blinded by desire for her, he fails to see the trap he is walking into and falls headlong into a nightmarish world of blackmail and murder from which he may never truly escape. Totally compelling and terrifyingly convincing, Sisi & Sonia is the story of how an ordinary man can go to extraordinary lengths to win the heart of a woman who has lost all faith in men.
As Trainspotting took an unflinching look at the mad world of heroin addiction, Sisi & Sonia, pulls no punches when it comes to the sexually obsessed world of one middle-class punter and an escort girl from Thailand.

Don’t come here if you’re looking for the titillating sensationalism of Secret Diary of a Call Girl – it's darker and richer than that. Think film noir, and a 21st century Lolita – with two faces.

This is a page-turner with characters that stay with you long after you’ve closed the back cover. Little wonder that Sisi & Sonia is consistently picking up five stars on amazon and Barnes and Noble. Also available at Foyles online, Waterstones and WH Smith.
