Introduction Push-over single mom without a Mommy Gland. Writer with a loola accent. Blogger with a header fetish. Woman with no plan. I dream of The One, Edinburgh, a brood of multi-coloured brats and an electric blue Volkswagon Beetle. Correcting other people's grammar even when I'm drunk is my only weird thing. Resilience of spirit is the quality I most admire in people. A nicely-chiseled jaw line with stubble is a close second. I wanted to do something worthwhile before my 30th birthday, so I wrote a book. And another one after that. I write, I dream, I obsess. I get bullied by my four year old. I'm niceish and working on getting better.
