I have a new book out this month – the fourth Secrets At St Jude’s which is called Rebel Girl. I am loving the sparkly kiss kiss lips on the cover. Gorgeous! 

I can tell you that the Gina and Dermot romance comes under severe strain when deliciously handsome Callum appears on the scene. Callum is in hot pursuit of our fav Californian girl. Meanwhile, Amy is trying to cope with the fact that her Dad may no longer be rich. She may actually have to shop on the High Street (eeek!). Niffy is about to take drastic transformation action to make herself glamorous – think bad haircut. We’ve all been there. Min needs to be dragged out of the study to have some fun, she is swotting far too hard.

Rush to the bookshop and get a copy, I hope you’ll love it.

Now, what else… I’ve got an article in She magazine about turning 40. If you’d like to know more, you’ll have to get your hands on the June 2010 issue with Dervla Kirwan on the cover. But I’ll also post up a link ASAP. The piece was inspired by one of my birthday cards. On the front it read: ‘You’re only young once…’ then inside, it said: ‘How was it?’ Ouch!!! But it’s true, 40 is not young and I’m still adjusting!

Anyway, it has been a frantically busy month as I finish off the NEW Annie Valentine. The planned new title is: New York Valentine. Genius, no? But I’m not saying any more! I’ve also been inundated with birthdays lately.

Cake creating is hitting new highs. For the girl party, there was a chocolate delight studded with pink Smarties, for the hungry big boy party – a giant Victoria sponge with cream, jam and Star Trek action figures. To boldly go where no cake has gone before.

Sun… there is finally sun! So happy!
