What earned you the rep of being a ‘rockstar author’? When I started keeping up with you, you were a ‘falls asleep after a glass of wine’ author. Is ‘rockstar’ status shared within matrimony, or did you used to jump on tables and rip your own books up during signings in the 90’s?

I’ve always (well, as soon as I entered my 30s anyway) been a Falls Asleep After A Glass of Wine author.

I think it just meant that I owned a leather jacket. And that the signing lines were very, very long. These days it probably means that if I go and give a talk, the tickets sell out fast (even if I’m not singing on the stage).

Thanks for answering. I own a leather jacket and fall asleep after a glass of wine – I will take that as an omen of career success.
