I’m delighted to announce that The Mmm Girl, my novel about the life of Marilyn Monroe, is finally back in print. This edition includes a new prologue and ten additional passages: including Marilyn’s diverse encounters with teenage fans and world leaders; intimate photo shoots, a rare stage appearance, and a trip to Mexico; and a closer look behind the scenes of her many movies, from early bit parts to timeless classics.

The Mmm Girl is now available from Amazon worldwide, in paperback (UK, £8.24; US, $12.50); and via Kindle (UK, £3.29; US, $4.93.) It is also available from The Book Depository, with free international shipping.

You can preview the first four chapters on Amazon, or read further extracts and reviews, and view the book trailer, right here. And of course, after you’ve read the book (and hopefully enjoyed it), please consider writing a short customer review on Amazon or Goodreads.

After a two-year romance, Marilyn Monroe married Joe DiMaggio in San Francisco on January 14, 1954. Sadly, they would part just nine months later in a blaze of recrimination and heartbreak.

He never remarried, and is the only one of Monroe’s three husbands never to discuss their relationship with the press.

This extract from my novel, The Mmm Girl (2007), revisits the day of their wedding, exactly sixty years later.  Continue reading →

The Mmm Girl, my novel about the life of Marilyn Monroe (as she might have told it herself), will celebrate her fifth birthday on November 30th. If you don’t have a copy already, it might be the ideal Christmas present for yourself or someone you love.

As my current publisher will sadly be closing in January 2013, this will also be your last chance to get your hands on a first edition paperback.  However, I am currently in talks with another publisher and hope to bring out a digital edition next year.
