For me, ‘Bookends’ marks the start of my foray into commercial fiction, away from what has always been thought of as more traditional chick lit - single girl in the city trips around in Manolos looking for Mr. Right Picture Quote #1

Having struggled with food issues and eating disorders myself, particularly when I was younger, I’ve long been interested in using it within my books Picture Quote #1

I left my job as a feature writer on a newspaper to write a book, then sent it off to a number of agents thinking they would all reject me. Within a week, most had come back to say they loved what they had read, which then led to a bidding war for my first two novels Picture Quote #1
