Bibliography

In addition to Songs of Blue and Gold and The Art of Falling, Deborah has written three previous novels:
The Moonbathers and the newspaper satires Hot Gossip and Idol Chatter, all published by Heinemann.







The Moonbathers is a black comedy about a woman who always tries her best - until she realizes that good behaviour is getting her nowhere: her life is falling apart because she has never dared to be bad enough. "Sparky," according to Marie Claire magazine, with shades of Fay Weldon and Alice Hoffman.

Hot Gossip is a friendly satire about the people who work on London's national newspaper gossip columns. It was Heinemann/Mandarin's lead title for August 1994, and Options magazine called it "Jolly cheeky and very funny" Inspired by Nigel Dempster and his team, it was written as entertainment rather than literature.

Idol Chatter is the sequel to Hot Gossip, with the same characters involved in a light-hearted romp with the movie crowd and publicity-seekers at the Cannes Film Festival. "Witty and entertaining," said Woman's Journal.
