New Book!
My next book From Notting Hill to New York…Actually out 22nd November 2012 in the UK, is a sequel to my first novel From Notting Hill with Love…Actually.
Scarlett O’Brien, utterly addicted to romantic films, has found her leading man. She’s convinced Sean is Mr Right, but the day-to-day reality of a relationship isn’t quite like the movies. With Sean constantly away on business, Scarlett and her new best friend Oscar decide to head to New York for the holiday of a lifetime. From one famous landmark to the next, Scarlett and Oscar make many new friends during their adventure - including sailors in town for Fleet Week, a famous film star, and Jamie & Max, a TV reporter and cameraman. Scarlett finds herself strangely drawn to Jamie, they appear to have much in common: a love of films and Jamie’s search for a parent he never knew. But Scarlett has to ask herself why she is reacting like this to another man when she’s so in love with Sean . .
I had great fun researching and writing this book. I took a trip to NYC last summer – my best “It’s research!” excuse ever, and you can see some of the things I got up to on the May/June 2011 archive of this site.

Much of the story is based around what happened to me when I was there. (A much-exaggerated version I have to add! Scarlett has a lot more adventures than me!) But I hope when it comes out you will enjoy reading all about Scarlett, Sean and (back by popular demand!) Oscar - Scarlett’s travelling companion in NYC – all over again! :-)
Cover coming soon…
