I'm utterly thrilled that OUR HOUSE is a New York Post Book of the Week! Thank you, Mackenzie Dawson - check out her picks here!

When I got my first book deal many moons ago, I did what most first-time novelists are apt to do: assume the book is going to be wildly successful and published all over the world. A global bestseller. Overnight stardom. New York, New York. Fast forward fifteen years and I am, at last, being published in the US. It's absolutely lovely to be a debut, even if by now I'm more like Madonna cavorting on her gondola in Venice than I am any real ingenue. My publishing team at Berkley are, quite simply, The Best, and today is one I will never forget. So a huge, heartfelt welcome to OUR HOUSE, US and Canadian readers - I can't wait to hear what you think of it!

Being reviewed in the New York Times is up there with Pulitzer prizes and Sunday Times #1 bestsellers in authors' daydreams - and now it's come true... It's amazing to see my US debut in Marilyn Stasi's Crime reviews - this is one link I'll be wearing out!
