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.

I was surprised – and flattered – to find my 2004 novella, Wicked Baby, listed in the bibliography to this book which accompanied the 2010 exhibition at London’s Mayor Gallery, Christine Keeler: My Life in Pictures.

The catalogue includes photographs of Keeler – the iconic model at the centre of 1963’s Profumo Affair – and some of the art she has inspired, edited by James Birch, with essays by Barry Miles and Jean-Jacques Lebel.

Dear Readers,

Wishing you all a merry Christmas and a happy new year!

2011 has been a year of change for me. I’ve been writing lots of non-fiction (as you’ve probably noticed), and have also made progress on my third novel.

2012 promises to be eventful – I’ll be turning 40 in June. Watch this space…
