Author, journalist, mother, hero.

Hello. How lovely to see you here. Welcome to my website.

This is where you can find out all about me, my work and, well just me and my work, to be honest.

My latest book - Holding The Baby - is out now in hardback. It’s a memoir culminating in a manifesto about how we can improve early parenting for everyone; parents, children, employers, even the government (if they’re listening). You can buy it from Blackwells, Bookshop.org, Foyles, Hive, Waterstones and Amazon. You can also get the audiobook, read by me, on Audible, Google Play, Kobo, xigxag or wherever you get your audiobooks.

My first novel - Square One is out in paperback in all good UK bookshops. Buy it right now from Blackwells, Foyles, Hive, Amazon and Waterstones. You can also order the audiobook, again read by me, through Audible, Audiobooks, Google Play, Kobo, xigxag or wherever you listen to books.

My first book, The Panic Years: Doubts, Dates and the Mother of all Decisions, is out in UK and US paperback right now. You can buy it through Waterstones, Blackwells, Bookshop, Foyles, Hive and Amazon. I also read the audiobook, which you can buy through Audible, Google Play, Kobo and xigxag.

All episodes of my podcast, that accompanied The Panic Years, are available now.

I will also be writing lots of features, columns, interviews and essays on a huge range of subjects, as usual. Check out the 'Journalism’ page for some of my recent work, and another rather enormous photograph of my face. You could even commission me, if you like.

You can also buy a copy of At The Pond: Swimming at the Hampstead Ladies Pond, right now, to read my essay all about being a pregnant lifeguard in a very yellow jumper. It’s on page 69. Of course it is.

If you want to learn more about me, you can visit the ‘About’ page or take to Twitter and ask me something directly.

Enjoy your visit. Enjoy my face.
