Interviewed at UnBound / BitchBuzz

The wonderful Adele over at the fabulous book review (and more) blog, UnBound has interviewed me and wormed many secrets out of me 🙂 and that’s me laughing at the noodle restaurant the week before. It was such a pleasure getting to know in real life someone I had got to know over the ‘net….
