Her latest book "Simon Ships Out: How one brave, stray cat became a worldwide hero"- the memoir of the world's first celebrity cat! - has been published to great acclaim in the UK. She is a regular contributor to Huffington Post and Sabotage Times. 

In between her writing she has recently trekked to see Mount Everest; tandem jumped from a tiny plane; been on Canarian TV due to her crazy long fingernails; run a lesbian dining club; escaped from a yoga holiday in a dinghy; and regularly does charity work for Breast Cancer and Gay Pride. She currently spends her time between London and Gran Canaria.I'm now a published author and a writer for Huffington Post, Sabotage Times.
