Great day today having Kathy Lette doing a talk. She was awarded an Honary Degree two years ago at Solent University as did Jo brand. To be honest I hadn't heard of her before, but she's such a talented writer/ novelist. Some of her books to look out for:
- To love honour and betray (till divorce us do part)
- How to kill your husband (and other handy household hints)
- Dead Sexy
- Puberty Blues
- Altar Ego
- Men - A User's Guide
She came today to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of international Women's day. She's a strong, bubbly and humorous character with lots of "girl power." Her novels are based on her and her girlfriends over cappuccinos with girlfriends.
A Downfall moment in her career is when she turned down a date with George Clooney....yes George Clooney. She wrote scripts for a sitcom one of them being "the facts of life" where Clooney happened to play a part in. He asked her out but she just simply wasn't interested at the time! When one of her girlfriends pointed out he was on ER, she screamed at the top of her lungs!!!
Kathy says that the best thing about being a writer is that you get to work in your jammies all day, drink heavily on the job and have affairs and call it research!
She really has made my day today and I have learnt a lot about her.
