I’m super excited to share the news that my first adult book is out now! It’s published under the pen name Lola Salt and it’s a comedy romance. Think Bridget Jones if Jackie Collins wrote it. It’s a collaboration with the fabulous Becky Wicks. We met when Becky was in Bali writing a travel memoir …
Home. What do we think of when we think of home? (oooh I realize that was very Carry Bradshaw sounding…I apologise…I won’t now deliver another 498 words of angst about not yet being married/ having a baby / finding love with someone with the improbably stupid moniker of Big). For a while now I’ve been …
Out January 5th….in the UK and in Canada and Australia…my latest epic. This one isn’t about people with mind powers or crushes on their brother’s best friend. No. This one is about a demon slayer. Think Buffy but with some children of the corn type action thrown in and way hotter boys. Yes, hotter than …
Look here I am! I’m right there on the table next to Stephenie Meyer and beneath the fantastic Divergent. If the camera panned upwards you’d see my grinning like a loon. I’m on the table NEXT TO STEPHENIE MEYER. My book. Is on the table next to BREAKING DAWN. And did I mention DIVERGENT? …

We’ve had friends staying the last week. Sorry to neglect you. Here’s a quick catch up. I have started and written 30,000 words of my new book. I’ve been dragged rafting along the Ayung River – about as much fun as being shoved inside a carrier bag and thrown repeatedly against rocks. I’ve butterfly stitched …
So here it is. My official website people, courtesy of my lovely husband. It’s still in beta but I’m just too excited to wait (wait? what’s that?) and had to share it with you all. Please spend time perusing the fantasy cast list. I spent many hundreds of hours living this fantasy. It’s only fair …
At the start of every year I always make a list of all the things that I want to do in that year. 2010’s list went like this: 1. Travel around the world 2. Get published 3. Find a new home 4. Write two more books 5. Learn to meditate 6. Road trip USA 7. …
