Kathleen Whyman is an author, journalist, exhausted mum and Espresso Martini fan. These may be linked. Kathleen's books are humorous women's fiction, inspired by her own feeble attempt to juggle a career with childcare, never-ending housework, laundry, life admin and, outrageously, a bit of time for herself. She is still struggling. (Any tips on how to cope would be much appreciated.) Her debut novel Wife Support System - about three mums moving in together to help each other out - was shortlisted for the Romantic Novelists' Association's Joan Hessayon Award 2020 and the Romance Comedy Novel of the Year 2021. Kathleen lives in Hertfordshire with her husband and two teenage daughters. There's a lot of door slamming.
