NEW RELEASE
Alison Kervin has updated her 2010 novel WAGS at the World Cup, to send the girls this time to Brazil for the 2014 tournament. The summary says: "Tracie Martin - WAG extraordinaire - gets herself into the most astonishing amount of trouble in Brazil while following her husband - a coach to the England team - in the 2014 tournament. It's a laugh-out-loud, funny, tender and ridiculous tale featuring the England team, the England WAGS and assorted gangsters, nutcases and ludicrous amounts of fake tan and lipstick."
WAGs at the World Cup - Alison Kervin (2010)
The uber fabulous WAG Tracie Martin is back with lots of glamour, trouble and WAG-ishness like only a true footballer's wife can do. When her husband, Dean, is promoted through the England coaching ranks, Tracie is beyond ecstatic. So, even though her husband swears her to secrecy until the team makes the announcement, Tracie can't help but go and help out some guys at the local TV station make a promo video to get more funding. The result is a fiasco and it turns into the most-watched YouTube video of all time. The team decide it would be best for them if Tracie heads off to South Africa, where the World Cup will be held, a little early to get away from the British press. Of course, Tracie continues to be a media magnet even when she has the best of intentions. Her open drunkenness is not popular among the South Africans and she is not warmly welcomed. And she is still desperate to become best of friends with the Wonder WAGS like her idol Victoria Beckham. But no matter what she does - including buying a telescope to spy on them - goes over too well. When Tracie discovers there is a betting syndicate out to make England lose the World Cup, she just won't have her beloved Dean losing after he's worked so hard. So, what's a WAG to do? Besides making sure she is orange enough, drunk enough and thin enough, Tracie must find a way to stop the betting syndicate in its tracks. Of course, doing it all in her best bikini wasn't part of the plan, but that's life for a WAG. This book - the third in the series - is absolutely hilarious with many laugh-out-loud moments. Tracie's escapades are so fantastic that you won't want it to end. Who wouldn't want to live vicariously through one of the coolest WAGS out there? It's an essential read - even when the World Cup is over - and an instant classic. (AS)
Your favourite queen of the WAGs is back in all her fake tan and mini-skirted glory. British sports journalist Alison Kervin's third instalment, WAGs at the World Cup, is out in May, just in time for the real deal in South Africa. Fans will remember in the last book A WAG Abroad that Tracie headed to LA, hot on the heels of the Beckhams. The summary for the latest book says: "Forget Victoria Beckham. Forget Coleen. You can even forget Cheryl Cole ... Tracie Martin is the true queen of the WAGs. From her lemon-frosted highlights to the tips of her bejewelled bronzed toes, Tracie is the ultimate footballer's wife and this is going to be her year. The England squad are heading to South Africa for the World Cup and Tracie's husband Dean has a place on the coaching squad. So the Martin family are on their way to South Africa. And while the fight may be on for England to regain their rightful place in the history books, Tracie knows that the true battle of the tournament will be fought in Gucci and in the pages of her favourite tabloids. But that's before she discovers that an international crime syndicate is trying to fix the World Cup. Can Tracie save the day?"
