Petite… she looks like someone who would make such a pitifully petty remark. I hope she reads the blog now, which she admitted she didn’t at the time of the interview. Although being a petty person, I doubt that she will.

On your next book tour, perhaps you will be able to have some fun with this particular interview!

Unbelieveable. You should definitely name names – truth is a complete defence to defamation. Anyway, maybe you should remind her that it takes one to know one!! Really enjoyed the book btw. xx e

If the ‘slapper’ comment was innocent then the person concerned should have had no problem in coming to you to explain it herself. The fact that she couldn’t be arsed shows that she meant it and was too arrogant to care. I agree with Brennig – name names! :o)

I think, P, you owe it to all of us to name names re the slapperage. :-)

Argh. I hate hearing that. I’m often lurking next to Jordan in biography. Or in Travel. Which is annoying.

Also, some travel shops in airports won’t stock hardbacks…

Two things: one is I couldn’t find your book either at Manchester Airport or Roissy this weekend. Second thing is I have many times been called a slapper and quite honestly take it as a compliment as most of the time it is done by someone who is a) jealous or b) stupid or c) both. Leanr to love the insults and life goes by so much more pleasantly.

Come on Petite, grow a thicker skin!
To some you are a slapper, to others you are someone who was brave enough to get out of a situation that wasnt working…

Just wondering if she reads your blog, if so, she’ll be mighty embarrassed at this outing! By the way, has The Boy been reading the book while you’re on tour?

Don’t make fun! That woman is maybe an authority on the subject!

Well, I discovered your blog while watching the BBC’s morning programme. You’re certainly not a slapper I thought you looked distinguished, came across as intelligent and a genuinely nice person.
I’m also a keen blogger, but have been off the computer for a while because I was unable to type properly due to an operation. I’m a non native speaker of English, who prefers to blog in English in order to keep up my knowledge of your beautiful language. I haven’t been blogging actively for a few months and already I feel my English’s standard slipping away…
