everyday life. With a husband who brushes off all affection and a routine that leaves her
bored out of her mind, playing pretend is no longer enough.
To help make ends meet, she hosts Tupperware parties, selling plastic promises of the
perfect home. But her true escape has always come when scribbling fantasies in her
journal each night to soothe the ache of a loveless marriage.
Soon she begins typing up her own stories, rewriting the endings of classic novels with
bolder and steamier scenes, much to the delight of the neighborhood women who start
sending in requests of their own. Under the safety of her new pseudonym ''Queen B'', Mitzy
creates an air-tight system to deliver her erotica, slipping stories into Tupperware
containers and taking discreet orders at her parties.
Demand is high, and as her secret career starts to blossom, Mitzy allows herself to dream
of a different kind of life. But when whispers of indecent, unmotherly conduct start to
spread that could put her family''s livelihood at risk, is Mitzy too naïve in thinking she can
rewrite the ending of her own story before it''s too late?
Blending wit, warmth, and rebellion, Wet Ink is a story of desire and embracing
ambition, set in 1969 London, in which the indomitable Mitzy Barlow builds a
Tupperware empire by slipping erotic short stories in with her orders,
accidentally sparking a feminist revolution among the housewives of her
London suburb.
Abigail Avis is a London-based author with a keen interest in women that fell between the
cracks of the swinging sixties, especially those who initiated domestic revolutions in
surprising and brilliant ways. Her love of saucy stories began early, sneaking books from
the adult section of the library as a curious pre-teen and she still proudly uses the
Tupperware inherited from her Nan''s 1960s party stash. She has two young children, and
studied and taught English literature before entering a fellowship with the Royal Literary
Fund, which facilitated the writing of Wet Ink.
