I'm an over-caffeinated chick-lit writer obsessed with Twizzlers, cupcakes and wine. 

I live in London, on a street with two Starbucks and (at last count) three other cafés that I can't go to because I'm always broke, forcing me to stay home in my cozy little flat and make my own increasingly stonger brew. 

I have a not-so-secret crush on Sir Alan of The Apprentice and if I was forced to wax anyone's hairy chest it would have to be Simon Cowell. Clearly I watch too much reality television.

My debut novel The Hating Game was short-listed for Best Romantic Read at the UK's Festival of Romance, while my second, Watching Willow Watts, was selected as an Amazon Customer Favourite. My novels have also been chosen as top books of the year by industry review websites and have been bestsellers in Britain and the United States.
