7 Years Bad Sex by Nicky Wells
Release Date:14th May 2015
Genres: Rom com
One wedding. One
curse? Disaster ever after…
A seven-years-bad-sex curse? Surely not! Yet something went wrong when rock singer Casey
and drummer Alex got married on that beautiful yacht anchored off St Tropez in
the south of France. Something went badly
wrong. For even on their wedding night, the young couple discovers a complete
and somewhat surprising inability to make love. Muddling through their
honeymoon with a string of thin excuses for their predicament, the lovers defer
finding a solution (and panicking) until the return to their home in London.
After all, they married for life and to make rock music, not for the love of sex.
Right?
But when they resume life as normal in London, all hell
breaks loose. Increasingly frantic in their quest for release, the unhappy
newlyweds embark on a string of hilarious and occasionally harmful antics that
drives them, their band, and an assortment of random strangers to the brink of
despair. But it ain’t over ‘til it’s over or, in this case… it ain’t over ‘til
the newlyweds sing.
JB: I have here
with me the amazing Alex Morgan, drummer of rock band Blue heart and most
recently turned romantic hero in Nicky Wells’s latest comedy, 7 Years Bad Sex. Welcome, Alex!
Alex: It’s a
pleasure to be here.
JB: So, Alex. Not
to put too fine a point on it, but you and Casey, you hit a spot of bother on
your honeymoon, didn’t you?
Alex: You could
say that.
JB: What
happened?
Alex: Nothing
happened. All right, I know what you’re asking, so I’m going to say it. We
can’t make love. There. So nothing happened,
ever.
JB: Wow.
Alex: Not exactly
the first adjective that springs to mind, but yeah. Wow.
JB: But why?
Alex: Some say
we’re cursed because Casey and I didn’t make eye contact while we were toasting
each other. Apparently that gives you seven years bad sex.
JB: Sounds like a
nasty disease. *blushes* What I mean is, it seems odd to just catch something
like this… *blushes some more* Oh, I’m making a right hash of this. Sorry!
Alex: Don’t be.
Casey and I have been through it all. We’ve seen a counsellor, a psychic, and a
sex therapist.
JB: And you’ve
been caught on camera not-quite-in-the-act, I hear?
Alex: You saw
that picture, huh? Yeah, we’ve been caught on live on camera and very nearly
went out on national TV. We didn’t know that the crew was going to walk in on
us complete with camera rolling and a live microphone. Just another instance of
being foiled in our ambition.
JB: One of many,
or so Nicky would have us believe.
Alex: One of many
indeed.
JB: Any
favourites?
Alex: Pardon me?
JB: I meant,
among all that calamity, do you have any favourite moments?
Alex: Well, the
near destruction of our house was quite funny, in retrospect. It wasn’t so
funny at the time, but I guess if you saw it in the movie, it’d be a laugh-out-loud
moment.
JB: Oh, a movie!
Will there be one?
Alex: You never
know… I’m sure we’re open to offers.
JB: Who’d be you?
Alex: *scratches
head* Now there’s a question nobody’s ever asked me before. Hm… I think… quite
possibly Andrew Garfield.
JB: *swoons* And
what about Casey?
Alex: Oh my! Do
you know, I reckon Karen Gillan would be perfect.
JB: Great cast!
So remind us what readers can expect from 7
Years Bad Sex?
Alex: *laughs*
Once you’ve read it, you will never, ever
clink glasses with anyone without making eye contact, I guarantee it. But
seriously? 7 Years Bad Sex is funny,
unique, very honest, desperately frustrating, and ultimately encouraging. I’d
buy it for Casey if she didn’t know the story inside out.
JB: Brill! Last
question for today: Tell us something we don’t know about you.
Alex: You mean
you think I have any secrets beyond everything that was laid bare in the book,
pun intended? *laughs* Okay. I’m a sucker for salted caramel ice cream, I
listen to ABBA in the bath, and I have a little purple book where I write down
ideas for songs when I’m travelling on the Tube. There is a lot inspiration on
the Tube. Romance, heartbreak, loneliness, crime, the nitty-gritty of life…
you’ve just got to keep your eyes and ears open.
JB: OMG, people,
make sure you don’t misbehave on the Tube or Alex Morgan will put you in a song!
Alex: On the
contrary, people, keep doing what you’re doing, it makes for great rock music!
*grins*
JB: Alex, it’s
been a pleasure, thank you so much. Come back again soon?
Alex: Definitely.
Thanks for having me here, and see you at the next launch….
