Katie Fforde – Her novels have been described as, ‘top drawer escapism’, by You magazine and, ‘…Jilly Cooper for grown-ups’, by the Independent. Inspiration for her novels is drawn from everywhere including ads at the back of magazines and overheard conversations among her choir. I wonder what hse will draw from the conversations at, ‘Girls night in’, after a few glasses of wine.
Judy Astley & Her Adorable Cat, (the cat will not be attending)
Judy Astley – Inspired to follow her ambition to write after filling in an application form for an Art Degree, (not surprising since most application forms are the length of a novel), Judy has since written 16 novels. ‘The Look of Love’, published in January this year, was shortlisted for the RNA Romantic Comedy of the Year.
What better way to spend an evening than hanging out with the girls and talking ‘chick lit’?
