I
have just finished reading Living the Dream. Wonderful book. Together
with The Blue Hour the best of your novels. Keep up the good work.

Fantastic, finished Living the Dream on Sunday, I deliberately read it
slowly to savour it!! What can i say, I loved it. You seem so at ease
with the characters in this book, at this stage you must know them
inside out and it showed! I always liked them but I really fell in
love with them this time. They all seemed so close, t'would really
warm the heart. Loved the new characters, esp Cleo, I thought she was
great. All your fab trademark touches were there, scenery, fashion,
literary references. I think there are a lot of writers out there who
think that women aren’t as intelligent as we actually are. Couldn’t
praise 'Dream' highly enough, 'twas unmistakably you at your best!!
Hope it flies off the shelves for you, as it fully deserves.

I got your book yesterday and after ten hours intense reading, I
almost cried with disappointment when I realised I was on the last
page, I must honestly say I think that Living the Dream was your
best book yet; I know I have probably thought that after every book,
but this was for real; it gave me such a buzz in my stomach; I
literally could not put it down. Congratulations again on another
novel which is bound to be a bestseller.

I LOVE your books and have been reading them for two years now. My
favourite one was 'The Blue Hour' and I cried at the end of Living
the Dream when ****
(censored by
Kate).
I have now read every one of your books so far so please, PLEASE write
more.

Well, I have just finished reading Living the Dream. It was, most
certainly, my best yet! I just love, as I am sure all your other fans
will agree, that we revisit all your characters. I just love
Deirdre/Rory. Keep up the fantastic work. I look forward to your next!

I have just finished reading Living the Dream, thoroughly enjoyed it
and couldn't put it down, much to the annoyance of my family! I have
now acquired Striking Poses of which I will start reading tonight.
Your books are indeed addictive and I almost feel a part of your
characters' lives. I would love a sequel to Living the Dream - your
work is first-rate, thank you for keeping me entertained!

Just finished Living the Dream so I'm starting from the "wrong" end. I
thought it was great & the ending made me cry. I realise that they are
all stand alone books but will start with the 1st one now. Thanks for
the pleasure & good luck for the future.

I picked up a copy of your book Living the Dream while on holiday
and I'd just like to say that I really enjoyed reading it. I think the
story was interlinked really well and I think it is a nice idea to
have 3 individual stories running in the beginning and then bringing
them all together at the end. I really loved the book and I will
certainly carry on reading!

I picked up your book Living the Dream during the summer and once I
started reading, I could not leave it down. It truly was a breath of
fresh air! The book was fantastic, written with excellence. Then when
I saw Sex, Lies and Fairytales, I couldn't wait to get reading. Even
better (it's hard to improve on perfect, but you do!) I laughed, cried
and enjoyed them both. Thanks to you, reading has become my second
best way of relaxation, painting is my first.

Thanks to you I truly know the meaning of not being able to put a book
down. I was up until 4.30 two nights ago to finish your book, Living
the Dream. I loved it. I laughed, I cried and I smiled. I even felt
the need to text my boyfriend at 3 o'clock in the morning to tell him
how much he means to me!! It made me that emotional! Thank you and I
look forward to reading your other books.

Thanks for the stories - they remind me why it's nice to be a human
being, a mum and a woman. I read Living the Dream today and it was
what I needed just to have a little cry and a little smile.
Caroline – Ireland
I read your book Living the Dream and thought it was excellent. I
never read before that really, but I couldn't put it down. Can't wait
to read Sex, Lies and Fairytales.
Olivia – South Africa
I want to tell you that I think your books are just amazing.... Living
the Dream left me feeling quite emotional, from many points of view. I
just did not want it to end, and all other books I looked at
thereafter just left me cold. Then, out of the blue, my current
bookstore had your new one, Sex, Lies and Fairytales, which I have
just finished. Your books are incredible from the point of view that
you can totally relate to the story, the characters and the feelings
and emotions. I laughed and I cried, something that I have not
experienced to such a degree before. And, besides that, the different
places in Ireland that the books describe, just make me yearn to visit
some of them. So, my husband and I are coming to Ireland for a holiday
in June of this year, and I am definitely going to visit some of the
places you have mentioned.
Again, to compliment you, you write magnificently, honestly, extremely
humorously without the silliness (if you know what I mean?) and I so
very much could relate to your books and the characters. In
particular, I really relate to Cleo. She must be me for sure.
The only criticism I have, is, why did the most gorgeous character of
all – [censored by Kate] - have to [censored by Kate]! boy oh boy, did
I have a good howl and was most angry at you!!!!
Looking forward to another sequel to Sex Lies & Fairytales......

I have only just discovered you - I was so engrossed in Living the
Dream I
didn't finish the book until 3.00 am and slept in this morning. Bless
you,
honey, for a great book with such nice people. Thoroughly enjoyed it,
and
am looking forward to reading all the others. Keep up the good work!!!
Olivia – New Zealand
Thanks for writing such great books - just finished Living the Dream.
My husband doesn't understand how I can spend so much time reading,
but I'm sure that your readers would understand. Since picking up your
first book, I always look for books at the shop. I'm waiting with
anticipation for your next one.

Just wanted to tell you that I have recently finished reading Living
the Dream. It was fantastic, at points I didn't want to put it down,
so thank you so much for hours of totally enjoyable reading. As it was
the first of your books I have read, I will now be investing in more,
thank you once again. I truly am always amazed by people who are able
to write such fantastic books. Looking forward to Sex, Lies and
Fairytales having reading the first chapter. Where ever do you get all
your ideas from?
Thank you so much for hours of wonderful reading.

I loved Living the Dream read it in three days, I’m an avid reader and
could not put it down, must go buy another of your books tomorrow. Im
glad that as a nurse I work odd hours, I can indulge in my passion for
reading, I cannot wait until the new book comes out.
Emma - Ireland
Living the Dream is the first of your books that i have had the
pleasure to read, it really was a wonderful book and i couldn't put it
down whilst on holidays. Needless to say nothing else got a look in.

I have just finished Living the Dream.......it has taken me away to a
wee happy (and sad) place over the last few weeks and has been total
escapism.
Thank-you! I found reading your book totally relaxing when I needed to
wind down in the evenings. Living the Dream has been an emotional
saviour over the past while. I have never felt compelled to write to
an author before...so you must have really hit the spot with this one!

I have just finished reading Living the Dream, which was fantastic. I
have read all your books now and love how all the people pop up again
and again, if feels as though we are getting updated on their lives
and they don’t just stop after the book has finished. A genius idea.
Cant wait till the next one!!
Felicia – Singapore
Brilliant! I enjoyed Living the Dream so much, I re-read from cover to
cover immediately after I finished it over the Christmas holidays.
I really went to great lengths to get hold of this book. I had to
resort to buying over at `amazon.com'. It cost about 3 times more than
if I were to get it at a bookstore in Singapore. But it was worth it!
I enjoyed the part on Deirdre and Rory. Thank-you for bringing them
back.
I also enjoyed reading about Dannie and Jethro. Last but not least, I
enjoyed reading about Cleo and Pablo. Will you be featuring Cleo &
Pablo in any of your latest books? Your description of the places are
so vivid. I feel as if I am transported to those places mentioned in
the book.

We’ve
all dreamt about it, but for Cleo Dowling the dream becomes a reality.
Lucky Cleo comes into serious money and takes herself off to the
pretty village of Kilrowan in the West of Ireland to write a novel.
But what happens when she loses the plot and becomes obsessed with her
sexy neighbour?
