I found my first Katie Fforde book STATELY PURSUITS quite by accident, taken by the 'ff' of the name. Ever since I've been collecting Katies although I still don't have them all. I loved the last 2, PRACTICALLY PERFECT and GOING DUTCH, especially the latter with its somewhat riper but delightful Jo. I hope Katie writes many, many more books and I do hope not so young characters will make a few appearances in future books. I'd like one of the characters to marry a foreigner or to live in another country. It's quite an experience. I sat down next to a handsome stranger on a flight some 26 years ago and the following years have been a multi-national adventure and lots of laughs. Katie could write this sort of 'hands across the sea' story into a delicious novel. Great interview.

Since I am in my 50s, if they are hen lit so much the better. I often listen to the audio versions because it it so nice to hear the British accents and I notice on her website that many of them are in audio form. But the audio versions aren't available in the states. What can be done to have them more available over here at a reasonable cost--like not $100. I realize the dollar is isn't doing very well, but I wouldn't pay that much for an audio book that is published here. Thanks. I love Katie Fforde’s books.

I love reading Fforde when I'm feeling the need for a fun, wacky read. She never disappoints.

I'm already laughing and I haven't even opened the book!
