Tell us about the location you chose for your SUNLOUNGER short story… I chose Sorrento, Italy. We visited last summer, intending to use it as a base to visit other destinations – Pompeii, Capri, Amalfi, Ravello  - but found it enchanting. After a day’s sightseeing I would relax by the pool in the shade of a lemon tree and read a book. Heaven! I also discovered Limoncello!

Have your books featured any exotic destinations? WHY DO FOOLS FALL IN LOVE is set in Bath during the making of a movie, but at the end of the story the heroine visits Cannes (France) for the film festival.

If you could live anywhere in the world…  I’d quite like to own my own desert island in the Caribbean – with all amenities, obviously!

Destination you’ve returned to the most times? I’ve been to Greece and the Greek islands about 5 or 6 times now. It’s the perfect combination of beautiful beaches, lovely people and incredible history.

Favourite cuisine from around the world? Chocolate from Belgium – does that count?

Favourite holiday cocktail? A Piña Colada – with as much fruit, paper umbrellas and sparklers that can be crammed into it.

What was your best/worst holiday romance? I was always having far too much fun on holiday to have a romance!
