Tina was brought up in a caravan after her mother, a fairground traveller, fell pregnant by a window cleaner. After leaving the bright lights of Coalville, she came to London and worked as a journalist and broadcaster for thirty years. She's probably best known as a television critic for the BBC and GMTV. Call Me Mummy is Tina's first novel, partly inspired by her own unsuccessful attempts to have a child. Despite the grief and disappointment of that, she hasn't stolen one. So far.

I loved [this] book. It's very dark, heartbreaking and totally absorbing
