Welcome to my new website. If you have children or grandchildren, then my books are for you!

You might have read some of my previous novels such as THE SCHOOL RUN and THE WEDDING PARTY which was short listed for Love Story of the Year 2010.

Read the first chapter of my new novel, THE PLAYGROUP.

THE PLAYGROUP is being published in paperback by Arrow (Random House) in February 2012 for £6.99

WHAT OTHER BEST SELLING NOVELISTS HAVE SAID ABOUT THE PLAYGROUP:
