Twisted, twisting stories
about the terrible things we do to one another
in the name of love.

The Surprise Party.
Out now!

My new book, THE SURPRISE PARTY, is out today!

Yes, I know THE WRONG CHILD came out just a month ago.

Now you know why I haven't been out at all...

Inspired by a stupidly dangerous walk I took in Crete two years ago, this has sun, sea, sex and death, with a hefty dose of menopausal rage.

The perfect beach read.

No. Really.

Go on, you'll love it.
