Hello! Just a quick update of what I’ve been up to recently. I am busy writing my (still untitled) second novel, which will be out in the Autumn with Headline Review. I’ll post news of the title and cover as soon as I have it. I’ve also been writing my fictional serial for The Lady, Come for Dinner, which is huge fun and which people seem to be enjoying – do let me know what you think of it if you manage to have a read. The Lady’s website is in the process of being completely revamped, and when the new site is launched it will contain an archive of all the episodes, so you will be able to catch up on any you’ve missed. I’m writing a feature about the serial form for Mslexia magazine later in the year. I’m having a great time thinking up all the menus and drinks to feature in the stories (my favourite sort of research…) and will also be writing a feature for the magazine about food and drink matching.
I was recently interviewed for a piece in The Telegraph which will appear in the review section on 13th February.
Luxury is doing well and I have been really pleased to have such fantastic feedback from reviewers and readers. Thanks to everyone who has been buying it and getting in touch to tell me your thoughts. It was recently reviewed on Angela and Friends, alongside Jackie Collins, Immodesty Blaize and Jacqueline Susanne in a round up of ‘bonkbuster’ fiction – here’s a link to the video clip.
I’m really enjoying Come to Dinner, and I’m so glad that things are going well with Luxury – it deserves the attention!
