Pride, Prejudice and Pre-nups!
I was sitting at my desk on Thursday, looking up gorgeous Georgian houses for my new novel about a group of Jane Austen addicts when I received an invitation to appear on Radio Five Live! The Richard Bacon show wanted a romantic novelist to talk about pre-nuptial agreements and how they take the romance out of marriage. I’ve never been on live radio before and thought it would be an amazing experience. I was cabbed in to the BBC at White City where I met the lawyer who would be arguing the case for pre-nups on the show, and we were introduced to Richard Bacon and userhered into the studio where enormous headphones were donned.
I’m pleased to say that it all seemed to go well and that I only embarrassed my husband a little by telling the nation about our old-fashioned courtship which included many a love letter!
Whilst at the BBC, I heard that Jonathan Ross was filming his show and I couldn’t resist leaving a copy of Molly’s Millions for him at reception. He has a reading group on Twitter and I’ve heard he likes romantic comedies!
Now, it’s back to the desk. I’ve discovered two amazing Georgian houses in nearby Oxfordshire and will be visiting them tomorrow. Another hard day at the office …
Hello there Victoria,
Well Done on your Radio 5 Live appearance, I wish I had heard it !
I have just finished Molly’s Millions which I bought when you came to visit our Writer’s Group in Harrow and I thought it was a terrific, light hearted read and I can definitely see Molly’s tale making a great screenplay…….
Good Luck with your writing, Anna May x
Thanks, Anna! So glad you enjoyed Molly’s Millions. I’m looking forward to your book very soon! Let me know how it goes.
