language
(Toffee Apple Publishing Nov. 23, 2011)
Science Fashion is a light-hearted, teen romance involving fashion design, art, sewing and science. It is a 34,000 word novella.
Story:
Budding fifteen-year-old fashionista, Evie, is persuaded to attend science class at school to help with her career aspirations of working in the world of fashion, jewellery, cosmetics and all things glam. Science isn't her thing, but she accepts the challenge and knows it'll help her achieve her dreams.
During her nerve-racking first day in the new class, she wears totally the wrong shoes and clothes, but discovers she knows more about science than she thought she did (reading her horoscope for years paid off when it came to naming the planets) and rightly guesses the answer to a question she was clueless about.
Oh and, that's just for starters. There's also intrigue, jealousy and boys. Hunter and Zak are gorgeous. Who knew boys like this were in the science class?
She's also got dresses, skirts and tops to upscale and design - and her fashion show to organise at school as part of her art and design exam. Her two best friends, Neve and Reece, are going to model her fashion collection. With Neve wanting to be a private detective, Reece keen on being a newspaper journalist, and Evie's dream of fashion fame, there's plenty of excitement, mystery, romance and glamour in this modern, fast-paced story.
And there is a surprise...
Evie is astounded when she discovers she has a talent for science. Fashion is her passion, but will she change her career and work instead in science? Evie has the perfect idea - and she calls it Science Fashion.
