Book Tour and Giveaway: LIFE DRAWING FOR BEGINNERS by Roisin Meaney
LIFE DRAWING FOR BEGINNERS
By Roisin Meaney
Publisher: 5 Spot
Released: August 14, 2012
Genre: Contemporary Fiction
When Audrey Matthews offers an evening class in life drawing, all she’s looking for is a little extra pocket money and something to fill her Tuesday nights. So she hires a model and recruits five students – each of whom have their own reason for being there.
For Zarek, a Polish immigrant, the class is a welcomed distraction and a place to escape his dull cafe job and noisy roommate. Then there’s the handsome, mysterious James who has moved to the small town of Carrickbawn to look for a new start for himself and his daughter. He’s vowed to keep to himself, but then his interest in Jackie, the class model and single mom, takes a more personal turn.
Audrey has just fallen in love — with the adorable puppy in the window of the local pet shop. Will she be put off by the store’s brusque owner or does she find out that his bark is worse than his bite?
As the weeks pass, it becomes clear to the members of the drawing class that their fellow students aren’t exactly who they seem.

Thanks for the giveaway. I would love to read this book. It sounds very good. Please enter me in contest.
I’m a sucker for these types of books that have a cast of characters and are centered around a class. I’d love to win a copy.
I signed up for Life Drawing at an Art School once. I thought it would be a good addition to my watercolor and drwaing class. I didn’t know what the class entitled until I got there. I really want to read this book and bring back memories of that class.
