What is your favourite festive film/book or both?
Serendipity – for romance.
Elf – for fun.
Bucks Fizz or Mulled Wine or other?
Bucks Fizz definitely! Got to have a bit of bubbly, & it doesn’t have to be saved for Christmas!
Mince pie or Choc Yule Log?
Mince Pie with cream! This year we’re going to Cornwall for Christmas, so I’m hoping for Clotted cream on my mince pies!
You open the door to Carollers, who would be your dream team of Carollers?
Robbie Williams, Ronan Keating, Michael Buble,
Evening buffet has been picked at, still full from lunch, time for board games, who are your dream team and what are you playing?

You did say ‘dream’ team…
Strip Poker – Bradley Cooper & a bottle of that bubbly I mentioned earlier. Perfect end to a perfect day ;-)

My new book From Notting Hill to New York… Actually is out now!



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 . . .
