When my husband, Bob, gave the London taxi driver the hotel’s address, the cabbie asked if we’d won the lottery – obviously then we didn’t look the usual clientele of The InterContinental. I wasn’t sure whether to be flattered or offended. I, of course, pretended to be a World famous crime novelist, but it didn’t fool the cabbie. The problem with authors is that people only recognise the names J.K Rowling and Dan Brown.

It's not everyday that I get invited to The Intercontinental Hotel in Park Lane, London, so I'd better make the most of it. I've been asked to be the guest speaker at a very exclusive and highly prestigious luncheon for ladies on Friday 8 May 2009 at The Intercontinental Hotel, Park Lane, London. The event is called the Pink Ladies Lunch because pink champagne will be served whilst raising money for breast cancer awareness. There will be a Pimms and pink champagne drinks reception followed by a two-course lunch and a goodie bag, and of course, my talk! Tickets cost £20 plus VAT. This is an exclusive lunch for business women who wish to network and ladies who wish to lunch. I'm delighted and honoured to be asked to speak and very pleased to be helping to raise money for a very worthwhile charity- Breakthrough Breast Cancer .
