Hot man for the weekend?

As it's Friday I thought I would treat you to my hot man for the weekend! No, I'm not hiring out Mr Big to boost my income, I am talking a gorgeous visual treat of a tasty man to drool over for the weekend. Now, as I went to see Titanic in 3D this week, my hot man can only be one person.

Yes it's Leo DiCaprio! Who didn't fall for the young but gorgeous and loveable Jack Dawson when they first saw Titanic? Swoon! Enjoy the picture and I will try and introduce you to more hot men on my blog in f...

Hot cross buns all gone!

Hi everyone

I hope you all had a great Easter break and enjoyed every second no matter how you spent it. For me I had some well deserved family time, a book signing and a Kindle promotion!

Thank you to everyone that came to Waterstones Windsor on Saturday. If you haven't been to Windsor before you don't know what you're missing, it's really a lovely place. There was a carnival atmosphere there because of the Easter break and the weather held up. I met some lovely people and sold some...

Join the party!

Hi everyone! For those who have children I hope you are enjoying the Easter break and finding new and different ways to entertain them!

Real or fake? Talking scene setting!

At the moment in my writing world I am away on an island with hot bodyguard Nathan Regan and pop princess Autumn Raine. Their island is real - it exists - and I wanted to blog today about what you think about scene setting. Do you prefer full-on reality, partial reality or total fiction when it comes to places? I love a bit of both myself and I think it very much depends on your novel and your characters. I've set characters in real places in some of my books and fictional ones in others...

An award for Lady B!

Birthday treat!

Morning! So, this is the week of Lady Baggot's birthday (Thursday) and I am shaping up for a weekend of fun in my caravan with Mr Big in exotic Burnham on Sea - I know how to live right?! Well, today I am asking what you really think about birthdays.

Every year I wake up on the day expecting to spend it like a princess, you know, being looked after, pampered, waited on, showered with gifts and walking around in a dream-like state marvelling at myself for having survived another year. The...

A new look...

If you missed my tweet yesterday then here is the big reveal again! I have new glasses!

I did say they were a bit Gok Wan didn't I?! I love them though! However, to go with the new eye wear I have a rotten eye infection caught from Daughter No. 2! And to go with that I have a cold, swollen glands, the lot. I should be boxercising today but instead I have had egg and bacon and will be spending time with my new hero - see post below including that sexy video of Richard Armitage!

My trip to...

Hot man alert!

OK, so as well as doing edits for upcoming novel Taking Charge, I am getting involved with another hunk in the shape of ex-SAS man and now bodyguard Nathan Regan. And to get myself into the mood for this brooding, ex-Army hottie I have been watching the delicious Richard Armitage in Strike Back! Check this out and comment on his sexiness!

Book signings and phobias!

Morning all! I hope this Monday finds you well and raring to get stuck into the new week!

I had a FANTASTIC time at Waterstones Fareham on Saturday and it was my first SELL OUT signing! All the Waterstones copies were sold and I had to get out the Mandy Baggot reserve copies! I met some lovely people and have been invited back when I launch my new book Taking Charge.

I don't know why I'm so cheerful though, I am still suffering with my tooth. The varnish coated on it to stop its 'sensitivity' ...

Big mouth!

Now most of you won't believe this but it's official - Lady Baggot has a small mouth! Had a filling at the dentist today and as usual getting the injection in was the worst part of it because I just can't open it wide enough (no smutty remarks please!). But we did it in the end and I've spent most of the day dribbling down my chin whenever I've eaten and drunk anything! Anyway, I have control back and the numbness has now worn off!

So, this weekend it's back to the signings. Yes, this...
