My biggest critics have never read me.

You've got your hands full if you have three children under 2 years old.

For a perfect holiday I need my iPhone and my writing tools. I write all my books by hand so black felt pens and yellow legal pads are a must. And my eyebrow pencil. I'm very low-maintenance.

I try not to bore my readers.

I managed to take a family trip to the Bahamas and it was quite lovely.

I was never confident about finishing a book, but friends encouraged me. When I finished my first book, it was accepted by a publisher right away and became an instant bestseller. One male critic called it the most shocking book he ever read.

My weakness is wearing too much leopard print.
