In 1967, her first novel, The Fat Woman's Joke was published. "When I submitted my first novel in 1966 it was accepted without demur. I thought this was because I was a wonderful writer, But it wasn't. It was because I had learned to have nothing turned down." She subsequently built a successful and prolific career, publishing over thirty novels, collections of short stories, films for television, newspaper and magazine articles and becoming a well-known face and voice on the BBC. She has described herself as a "writeaholic". " (from Wikipedia). Near Fine in Very Good+ dust jacket .
