Author of the Week: Alexandra Potter
This week’s Author of the Week is Alexandra Potter. She is the author of 7 novels and was born in Bradford, Yorkshire. She has lived in Los Angeles (which inspired her second novel) and Australia where she worked on Vogue and Cleo (and did rather too much sunbathing). She has also worked as a features writer and sub-editor for women’s glossies in the UK including Elle, More!, OK! and Vogue. She now writes full-time and lives in Notting Hill, London. (Thanks to fantasticfiction for the biography)
Her novels are: What’s New Pussycat?, Going La La, Calling Romeo, Do You Come Here Often?, Be Careful What You Wish For, Me & Mr Darcy and Who’s That Girl? - which I’m currently reading and will review in the near future!
The first Alexandra Potter novel I read was Going La La follwed by Be Careful What You Wish For, Me & Mr Darcy and as I’ve said, the one I’m reading now, Who’s That Girl? I’ve enjoyed all the ones I’ve read so far and when I get the chance I’ll re-read and review Going La La and Be Careful What You Wish For.
Who’s That Girl? was released in January this year and, unfortunately, there’s no news yet of an eight book but I’m hopeful there will be one, I love Alexandra’s style of writing. I also love her latter 3 book covers and think it’s a shame her earlier books haven’t been re-covered and re-printed.

I discovered Alexandra a few years back when I read ‘Calling Romeo’ and then I went on a mad spree buying her first two books. They were great fun, well written with strong and vivacious women.
