That all changed in the Noughties when the phenomenon of stardom took off."After having my two children, I decided it was time to quit acting as I didn’t want them to be forced into the limelight because of me.

I wanted to concentrate on the things that really mattered – being a wife and mother."Turning to writing was a no-brainer. I’ve always, for as long as I can remember, squirrelled myself away.
