Hilarious and beautifully produced, this is a visual feast which will delight and entertain Noel's many impassioned fans."Growing up in the jungles of India there was no need for drawing or painting. I would sometimes arrange ants into primitive still lives or scratch out portraits onto the trunks of trees. Things changed when I was 11, a lame tiger who owned a stationery shop gave me the keys to his stock room, I would roll around in acrylic and oil pastels in reverie, licking canvases and tucking coloured pencils into my wild hair. It was here I learned how to draw and paint well enough to be accepted into Croyden Art College. There, Dexter Dalwood (Turner Prize nominee) taught me and after two years under his supreme tutelage and much hard graft he advised me to become a comedian." —Noel Fielding

    Or for him. Or anything that had to do with Cal Donovan from Boston. Meeting him had been a complete and utter surprise, taking me one hundred percent off guard. I met new people every single day in my line of work and none of them affected me. Wasn’t that the way of things though? You could meet a thousand people and they’d all mean nothing to you. But then you’d meet that one and they suddenly meant everything.

    The social whirl may be dizzying but there are pitfalls aplenty and Millie knows that the whole world is just waiting for her to do something scandalous. She's just that sort of girl.

Can she do the impossible and come through unscathed? Or will disaster finally catch her up? Whatever happens, Millie is determined to do things on her terms and if that means tackling the impossible; well, she's just the kind of girl who likes a challenge! Author note... well, putting up a book where the first two pages missed editorial changes was a bit of a clunker, but I have remedied (my profound apologies to anybody who bought the one with the dodgy first pages). I am happy to send a - relatively - flawless copy to anybody who has already purchased. Please email me at kate.l.deans@gmail.com. Gosh, I'm a goose!

    I took one look at the girl dressed as Cinderella and fell head over heels in love. I was not someone who believed in love. Yet, within a few hours, she made me crave for things I never knew I wanted. I began to equate her presence with happiness. Like a warm breeze on that winter night, she thawed my frozen heart. At midnight, she ran away without telling me who she really was. Just like Cinderella.I was never the same again. I couldn't forget her, but she came visiting only in my dreams.No matter what, I was determined to find her.Chandni: Karan was not someone I could even dream about. I was a poor orphan, a nobody.He was a billionaire, the hottest bachelor in India, coveted by rich women everywhere. A dance: that was all he asked.But while we danced, I gave him my heart, knowing that the magic would end once he realized my true identity.I was nothing but a cheat.Yet, the magic didn't end that night.A bizarre twist of fate put me in his path again. I had to hide my secret, even though I wished to confess everything to him. Was watching him from afar the only thing that was written in my destiny?
