‘More than enough imaginative colour to enliven even the dreariest day.’ Irish Independent

'If you like Marian Keyes, you'll love Kate Thompson!' Ottakers

Young Dublin actress Deirdre O’Dare has just landed her first big role and desperately wants to shine – and to impress David, the director she has fallen madly in love with. But while Deirdre loves David, David loves leading lady Eva. Meanwhile, Sebastian and Rory wait in the wings…

A funny, entertaining and sexy backstage tale set in Dublin’s theatre world, It Means Mischief details the romantic adventures of a young woman who – during one long, hot summer – discovers the difference between infatuation, lust and love.

'Irresistible!’ Deirdre Purcell

I've managed to order all your books from Amazon.  Plan to start at the beginning with It Means Mischief, rereading the few previously read and end up with Sex, Lies & Fairytales.  I am soooooo looking forward to this. Thanks for being such a brilliant writer - keep them coming!

I love your books. For the past five days I have read It Means Mischief, More Mischief and Living the Dream. I was upset last night because I finished the third book, but I told my boyfriend not to come home unless he has a copy of Sex, Lies & Fairytales......

I have just finished reading It Means Mischief and found I could not seem to put it down. I will certainly be buying more of your books. It Means Mischief was delightful and enchanting.

I have just started to read It Means Mischief & am really enjoying it! I discovered your novels on Amazon Books & ordered 3 of them straight away!

I have just read your first novel - It Means Mischief. I adore it… so went out today and brought 3 more... (I'll sneak the rest when my fella isn't watching he already thinks I read too much...) Anyway, thanks for a great read - I can't wait to get started on the next.

Really glad you have this e-mail because it gives me a lovely opportunity to tell you how much I've enjoyed every single one of your books! I started off with It Means Mischief years ago and that was it! I was royally hooked! And you can imagine my delight when I saw its sequel. From then onwards I scoured the shelves in all bookshops looking for more, and now I've read everything you've written. Several times over. I love the ability you have to delve into these delicious situations and the characters you dream up (I like to imagine that's how they come to you) are exactly that. Dream-like, and oozing with style. My favourite is Eva. What a woman!
I'm so excited about your forthcoming novel. I devoured the last in about two evenings so I need another fix.

I finished reading your latest book a few weeks ago and just wanted to write & let you know that it was absolutely fantastic - as usual.
I bought your first book It Means Mischief and have been hooked ever since!
My boyfriend thought I was crazy whilst reading your last two books, when I burst into laughter one minute and then into tears the next. For the two days it takes me to read your books, he daren't talk to me for fear of retribution if he interrupts me!!
