My projects




MY NOVEL


Never content with just working on one project, I've started to write a novel too. I have actually had this idea in my head for quite some time, and I began writing shortly after Christmas. The book is still very much in the early stages, but I am very happy with what I have written so far. The character is someone completely unlike myself - in fact he is male and a lot older. But that is all I can say for now. I'll give more details and keep you all informed, when I have written more.


MY CAROLE LOMBARD BIOGRAPHY


My Carole Lombard project is going slowly but surely. I say slowly because so far I've been unable to interview anyone who is related to or knew Carole in any way (or is related to someone who knew her). I have acquired many items that are rare and unknown so far, but interviews are a very big requirement for my books - as demonstrated in 'Marilyn Monroe: Private and Undisclosed', where I interviewed 100 people.


So if you know anyone out there who is related to, or knew Carole in any way, please get them to email me - I'd love to hear from them.


I have had a huge response and much help from Carole's fans, and I'm so happy and grateful to you all. You will be acknowledged in the book, when it is complete.


MARILYN MONROE: PRIVATE AND UNDISCLOSED


My Marilyn book is still selling steadily. There is no news yet about translation rights, but I'll let you all know when I hear anything.

I'm very excited!


I am a huge fan of Sex and the City, especially Sarah Jessica Parker's character, Carrie Bradshaw. For the first few weeks after giving birth, I spent many hours watching Sex and the City on DVD, while Daisy slept beside me. It helped keep me sane in those difficult first weeks of being a mum! Of course as a writer I was always inspired by Carrie's job as a columnist, and now it seems very strange (but also very cool!) that I too am now a columnist!

I'm really excited about the Sex and the City film, and was thrilled to discover the official website, located at www.sexandthecitymovie.com/
I am counting down to the film's opening in May, but for now surfing the website will help pass the time!
