Recently I was asked by a well-meaning chap at a writers festival if my recently published book was about interior decorating. I smiled, told him he was about to be a little bit embarrassed, and explained what it was all about.

It is for his benefit that I have chosen to post this short profile in the local Glebe newspaper, which has rather a lovely shot of the stained glass feature inside my house, and the wonderful speech Anne Summers made when she launched my book – now three months ago.

The caravan of PR opportunities wends its way to television. After my Sky TV debut in June, I am now scheduled to appear on none other than Kerrie-Anne Kennerly’s morning TV show in August. Details to be announced.
