Kindle friends, take a look at today’s HOT NEW Release, Perfect Skin by award-winning author Nick Earl. Perfect Skin is a light-hearted and candid tale centered around Jon, a single dad who is working, dating, and raising his child after the loss of his wife.
A Brief Synopsis of Perfect Skin:
Jon Marshall is a Brisbane dermatologist who lasers bananas as well as he does skin and has a penchant for making even simple situations more complicated. From Ash–his running buddy–to Katie–his coffee friend–to Lily–his daughter known affectionately as the Bean–Jon tries to keep the women in his life in neat compartments but ultimately finds that poetry readings, errant cats, and the Lemonheads all make life what it is–messy and blurry and vibrant.
As he copes with the loss of his wife, attempts to avoid the dating scene, and puts off registering an obnoxious computer program, Jon is going to learn that the most important woman in his life will always be his daughter, and fatherhood is going to make him grow up–if not old.

What People Are Saying About Perfect Skin:
“Dating can be daunting at any age, but Earls paints the battle of the sexes as a friendly duel with plenty of promising common ground, and readers should enjoy this amiable, well-crafted and genuinely romantic book.” — Publishers Weekly
“It’s touching, funny and his main character has that charming haphazardness that Earls does so well. You can readily fall in love with the characters and their imperfections and you quickly find yourself wincing at Jon’s experiences and egging him on as he tries to balance fatherhood, love and loss.” –James Turnbull
