About me
Hello and welcome to my website. Are you sick of formulaic 'chick lit', with tired
plots involving two dimmensional characters who live in Notting Hill, work in PR, have a token gay friend and spend their lives drowning in a sea of chardonnay whilst they wait for Mr Right to throw them a lifeline? As a writer of commercial women's fiction I try to
offer something a little grittier - 'real' women (and men) dealing with real issues and above all taking control of their own lives.
If I had to come up with one word to sum up my books I would call them tragi-comedies. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoy writing them and please feel free to post a message on my message board with your comments as I would really appreciate some feedback.

LIFE'S A BEACH: Well I get back from a week of sun, sea and second degree burns to find the topic of discussion on the message board is the pros and cons of drinking one's urine! Hmmm.... top tip if you do indulge, eat some beetroot before hand and then at least you can pretend it's ribena. Is there any way we can make this week's debate a little more highbrow? Anyone out there eat their own faeces? Anyone out there watching Big Brother? Can you believe that rebel without a clue, Kitten sold her story to the News of the World? Really right on, love, that'll show 'em. Well I'm off to move the fridge to the garden shed and sit on the roof for a bit. Have a good week!

Does anybody out there know Robert De Niro? It doesn't have to be THE De Niro, God knows I'm not proud. My publishers have asked me to provide them with a list of famous people who might be willing to give a quote for the cover of my next book. As the Scene Stealers is all about a group of film buffs and Taxi Driver features quite heavily, De Niro is the obvious choice. Can you imagine - 'This book changed my life - buy it immediately!' Robert De Niro - who cares if he owns a chippy in Bognor, no-one need know. Likewise if anyone knows anyone with the name Richard Gere, John Travolta, Warren Beatty, Susan Sarrandon, Gina Davies, Lana Turner (actually I think she might be dead) please get in touch.
