Online Now Icons You Should Be a Romance Novelist You see the world as it should be, and this goes double for all matters of the heart. You can find the romance in any situation, and you would make a talented romance story writer... And while you may be a traditional romantic, you're just as likely to be drawn to quirky or dark love stories. As long as it deals with infatuation, heartbreak, and soulmates - you could write it. What Type of Writer Should You Be? You Belong in New York City You're the energetic, ambitious type. And only NYC is fast enough for you. Maybe you'll set yourself up with a killer career Or simply take in all the city has to offer. What City Do You Belong In? |

My Interests |
|
| My partner Lovely Kev and I love to travel. In recent years we've been to China, Nepal (for research for my book With or Without You), Equador and the Galapagos Islands (fantastic!) We're off to Peru soon to walk the Inca Trail. Kev and I do lots of hiking and cycling too. Other than that, I love reading (top hobby for all authors I should think). I also do aerobics classes. I like cooking, but I'm not the world's best - though my chocolate bread and butter pudding is enough to make grown men swoon. | |
I'd like to meet:New friends, fellow writers, my lovely readers, the gorgeous George Clooney and the Deppmeister. |
|
Music:I love music and have to listen to it while I'm writing. Current favourites include James Morrison, The Kooks, The Feeling, Gorillaz, Amy Winehouse, Scissor Sisters and Robbie.Classics include Coldplay, Sting, The Corrs, Deacon Blue. Oldies but goodies include Fleetwood Mac, Human League, Pet Shop Boys, Simply Red. Boz Scaggs, Joan Armatrading, Ian Drury and the Blockheads, Roxy Music and, of course, David Bowie.When I need inspiration for my writing I always turn to Prefab Sprout - much underrated - and George Michael.I also got really into John Mayer after a recent trip to San Francisco. I'm also forced to listen to Bon Jovi every time I'm in the car due to my dearly-beloved's proclivities. |
|
Movies:I'm film mad - all-time favourites include Cabaret, The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, Anything with Hugh Grant in. I also love cheap sci-fi films and weepies. I'm also a sucker for old musicals - particularly anything with Gene Kelly in it. Thought the new James Bond film was great. Am hoping that one day at least one of the films I've got 'in development' in Hollywood will make it to the big screen - or even the small screen! |
|
Television:Wednesday night is our telly night - addicted to The Apprentice, Grand Designs, then Desperate Housewives. A good night in. Am also a complete 24 freak and have currently been crazy about The Tudors! My social life ends every year when the X-Factor starts. Would love to see more 'proper' drama and comedy rather than endless reality shows. |
|
Books:I rush straight out and buy all of Philippa Gregory's books. Ditto Harlan Coben - love all his twists and turns. In my own genre, I love Sophie Kinsella, Marian Keyes, Emily Giffin and Sarah Mlynowski (who I edited the fabulous Girls' Night In series with in the USA and Canada). I also love vampire books - MaryJanice Davidson's stories are chicklit vampire and very funny. All-time top books include The Time Traveller's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger and Goodbye Johnny Thunder by Tania Kindersley. But I could rave on and on as I love so many writers. I have to recommend my own books here too, don't I? |
|
Heroes:Jack Bauer - 24. A man who can save the world and still remain so sensitive has to be good in my book! I ought to mention Lovely Kev here too - my very own romantic hero!My Meez: This is supposed to be me in my office, but they didn't have one with blonde highlights and, believe me, my office is much messier. It's also supposed to wave and do cute stuff, but this meez seems to be stuck on manic typing - about right then, really... Your Love Song Is Yellow by Coldplay "Look at the stars, Look how they shine for you, And everything you do, Yeah they were all yellow" You're so in love, it's like a drug. What Love Song Are You? Your Birthdate: June 6 You tend to be a the rock in relationships - people depend on you. Thoughtful and caring, you often put others needs first. You aren't content to help those you know... you want to give to the world. An idealist, you strive for positive change and dream about how much better things could be. Your strength: Your intuition Your weakness: You put yourself last Your power color: Rose Your power symbol: Cloud Your power month: June What Does Your Birth Date Mean? |
