"Streetwise Josie is one of the rare women who can keep a secret for 20 years, has gumption, bravado and a diet that works. Any reader over 40 will want to put up a poster of her. Let's hope Cutler brings Josie back."

The Food Detective - 2

« Previous page

My favourite character in the book was a WeightWatching publican called Josie Welford, a middle-aged woman with a quick tongue and a love of good food I could identify with. One morning I asked myself "What if?" and promptly rewrote the whole thing from her viewpoint. The book fairly rattled along: I was actually sorry to type in the last full stop.

To my great delight, my publisher liked Josie too - so much that he asked me to write another book about her. I hope you enjoy the The Chinese Takeout.

So if your novel simply isn't working, take a tip from me: stand back and ask if you're seeing it through the right pair of eyes. Good luck.
