I'm a best-selling author although better known for winning Come Dine With Me.

My debut novel MY ADVENTURES IN CYBERSPACE, the first in a trilogy, is available on Amazon and Kindle and inspired by my experience of falling in love with a man on a forum without knowing what he looked like, merely by dint of his writing.

My erotic novel MOTHER-IN-LAW,SON-IN-LAW, recently signed up by a major publisher, is available to buy worldwide from Amazon in paperback, Kindle and from leading e-retailers. After reading from the novel during Come Dine With Me, it became a best-seller. The sequel, A PASSION FOR CLASSIC CARS and the sequel to MY ADVENTURES IN CYBERSPACE, DROWNING, are both due for publication Autumn 2015.

LABRATS, about a group of volunteers on a residential drugs trial, is also due for publication in 2016.

I'm also a mother of three and a grandmother. I live in Sheffield with my third husband and five cats.

My daughter Hollie Amaya is a natural comic. You can see her doing an improv impression of me here: https://youtu.be/SkWPSw8ZIVA
