There’s Lilly at number 47, who has known Clarke for many years and central to everything that explodes is Priscilla, normally pristine but on 1st June 2021 she bangs on Rae’s door utterly dishevelled. There’s Rae at number 11, married to Clark and at number 24 there’s Bryony who is married to Grayson, much more about him later. Let me take you to various upmarket properties in Acacia Villas in Brighton. But I can't say for how long I'll be in the UK for because I've been well and truly bitten by the travel bug I recently spent two years living in Sydney Australia, and now I'm back in England.

It was incredibly successful - selling nearly 90,000 copies within its first few weeks on sale. In 2006, third novel, My Best Friend's Girl was published. In 2001 I had the idea for The Cupid Effect and my career as a published novelist began. I took up various temping jobs and eventually got my big break writing, editing and subbing for various women's magazines and national papers.įiction and storytelling were still a HUGE passion of mine and I continued to write short stories and novels every spare moment that I got.

I eventually returned to London to study for my masters degree and stayed put for the following years. I grew up in London and then grew up again in Leeds when I went to university. I used to write a chapter every night then pass it around to my fellow convent school pupils every morning, and they seemed to love it. I wrote my first novel called There's A Thin Line Between Love And Hate when I was 13. Hello, my name's Dorothy Koomson and I'll try to make this bit that's all about me as interesting as possible.
