Below are various media articles (TV, magazines, newspapers, radio) covering both my books. The media response (all over the world in the case of ‘Men on the Menu’) was amazing. And I’m delighted to report I can now give a 20 minute radio/TV interview without saying ‘umm’ more than five times!

This focuses a bit too much on relationship issues, (and in their words, not mine!) but is still a good article…

I’m not so sure about this one – Turkey copied the Daily Mail UK article but changed the heading to something like “Aussie woman sleeps with 75 Men”. Charming. Welcome to the media circus!

They’ve already taken one of the sites down after several complaints, so this may follow suit….

You Tube clip, and can I please say that the ‘cover’ choice for this video had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH ME!!!!!!! It was simply in the middle of the video and it somehow made the cut!!! It has NOTHING to do with men at ALL!!!!!!

Turn the volume up to LOUD – and enjoy!
