So the other night when Vic (Victoria to you) Beckham and I were hanging out at Glamour Magazine’s Women of the Year party…
Okay, well, not exactly hanging out, more like we were in the same room at the Glamour Woman of the Year Party. I only know this because, besides winning two awards that night (her not me), one of my friends told me that he saw her across the room and she was only wearing pants. I think he meant a slinky number as opposed to some M&S cotton briefs.
It was all very, very exciting. Piers Morgan was there, members of the royal family, even Gareth Gates. I spent most of the evening saying to my friends, “Are you sure we were invited to this?” while trying to look elegant slurping down cocktails and champagne.
Brilliant.

I was so excited about the big launch party at The Pan Bookshop that I entirely forgot to take any photos inside at the party. Every photo I have is of me beaming outside the shop, in front of the window display for my book – in itself a pretty exciting moment.
I can assure you that fun was had inside the shop as well. Though I have no proof.
I’d like to thank everyone who came – my publisher said it was the biggest turn out for a launch that she’s ever had! It feels amazing to have so much support.
The two photos are of me with my husband and my best friend Julia (AKA Anne in the book). Julia flew all the way from LA to be at the launch and she had to change planes and sit in the middle of the middle row. That’s serious friendship.

Trashionista, the website that reads “books like they’re going out of fashion”, dove into Taking the Plunge. Their verdict: my wedding really was a misery. Ah, the truth hurts.
Overall, Trashionista gave it a 4 out of 5. Not bad for my first review ever. They called it, “A touching and jaw-dropping account of one woman’s pre-wedding calamities” and “a compulsive and enjoyable read”. The review was very positive!
Interestingly, they found the structure “a little odd”. Here they are referring to my Wedding Truths – bits of advice and first person commentary thrown in between each chapter. In response, I would say that without these reminders, I thought people might forget that the crazy events described really happened.
What do you think? Comments welcome!

Welcome to my book blog.
I’ll be updating you here on the highlights and lowlights of my writing, the book and other nonsense.
Like perhaps you’d be interested in knowing that Bernadette’s story lives on after Taking the Plunge. (Thankfully for me as she is based entirely on my life) And maybe you’d like to know what misery is thrown at her and how she deals with it - a drastic haircut? dance lessons? fire extinguisher?
Or perhaps you’d be interested in knowing that all kinds of exciting things are happening with the book. A Launch! Magazine Appearances! More! More!
Or perhaps you’d just like to look at ugly photos of me. If so, click on the link ‘Contact Me’ above. Classic photo on that page.
