If a lifelong search for my own personal HEA has taught me anything, it’s that the path to true love almost never runs smoothly – but it does make a great story.

A PR journalist for over 20 years, I write from the Georgian house in West Sussex which I have been renovating with my husband. I am unnaturally obsessed with dinosaurs and quite fond of my children too. I love pine trees, bonfires, irrelevant facts, coffee-flavoured ice cream, eye liner on guys, Despicable Me 2, comfy loungewear, antique fairs, sexy forearms, Earl Grey tea, ice hockey punch ups and MMCs who fall first AND harder. I read ridiculously fast (it's a big problem) and I wish I could hula hoop. I've tried. I can't.
