about me

Hello Team!

I am brand new to authonomy and am still finding my feet.

There is a story behind my book - Make Cake Not War - isn't there always..? Make Cake was due for pulication in June 2008 but the publisher in question went bust 6 weeks before the publication date.

I've had a bit of a rough time the last 2 years and pushing my book has not been top of my list of priorities...but now I am back and raring to go!!

I'd really love to find a home for Make Cake and am so grateful for the positive comments I have received so far. Thank you.

If you are a Karaoke fan, you might enjoy Chapters 22 and 43. And if you're looking for recipes have a look at 7 and 19. If you've got a thing for Brad Pitt/winning the lottery try Chapters 1, 11 or 30.

I had some probems uploading my book and have had to delete and re-upload, so I've lost some of the lovely coments people made. :-(

I promise to get reading and commenting soon - my working days are Thursday and Friday - and I'm on the hunt for a half decent photo of myself.

Happy reading!

favourite books

This is a hard one. I remember my English teacher at school once saying that everything that has been written deserves to be read, and so I read anything and everything.

Here are few of my favourites:

I don't know how she does it - Allison Pearson
Like Water for Chocolate - Laura Esquivel
Chocolat or Blackbery Wine - Joanne Harris
A long way down or How to be Good - Nick Hornby

Most useful book I have read in the last 2 years:
The Contented Little Baby - Gina Ford

Current Guilty Pleasure
The Jack Reacher Series - Lee Child (My husband's airport reading)

Make Cake Not War

Sinead McNeill

A story of tea. More tea. And a case of mistaken identity.


Do you want me to tell you where you can stick your job?" Natalie is a karaoke-singing, tea-drinking, twenty-something day-dreamer. In her dreams it's all Brad Pitt, no work and an unlimited supply of biscuits. If only... Boyfriend Ben has morphed into a low-carb, high maintenance, work-obsessed gym freak. And don't get her started on Lucifer - evil boss and Queen of mean. Even her friendship with flatmate Clara is showing the strain. A bottle of Pinot and some kettle chips can get a girl so far; but when her best friend announces he's leaving town, Nat quits her job, and disaster ensues. Fleeing home, she's forced to confront the truth about her relationship, her career, and the fear of never finding true happiness. A chance meeting with Maria, owner of the local tea shop, leads to a new friendship and a fresh start. And then Natalie meets Alex... A god in the flesh, and a god in the kitchen - but he's a god with a past. Will Nat choose the safety of her old life, or will she have her cake. and eat it? Bridget Jones meets Chocolat, Make Cake Not War is a calorie-free, hilarious debut novel.
