Spinning Plates
Sophie Ellis-Bextor shares her experiences, insights and reflections on men, music and motherhood.

Now Sophie is bringing that same mixture of down to earth candour and optimistic sparkle to her first book.

The Butcher's Hook
Anne Jaccob is coming of age in late eighteenth-century London, the daughter of a wealthy merchant. When she is taken advantage of by her tutor — a great friend of her father’s — and is set up to marry a squeamish snob named Simeon Onions, she begins to realize just how powerless she is in Victorian society. Anne is watchful, cunning, and bored. Her saviour appears in the form of Fub, the butcher’s boy. Their romance is both a great spur and an excitement. Anne knows she is doomed to a loveless marriage to Onions and she is determined to escape with Fub and be his mistress. But will Fub ultimately be her salvation or damnation? And how far will she go to get what she wants? Dark and sweeping, The Butcher’s Hook is a richly textured debut featuring one of the most memorable characters in fiction.
Funky Lunch
Funky Lunch started out from a very simple place - the desire of a loving father to turn an ordinary lunchtime sandwich into something a bit different in order to encourage his children to eat a varied and healthy lunch. Its creator, Mark Northeast, thought it would be fun to post a few pics on the web and start a blog. But then he got spotted by the PR for the Metro group of newspapers and then the Daily Mail, and then the rest of the world's press and then came an appearance on ITV's This Morning and then commissions for BBC's Children in Need and even an appearance on Blue Peter. Every parent knows how stressful meal times can be. Young minds need inspiring and this is exactly what Funky Lunch sets out to do. The book features many of the very best Funky Lunch sandwich ideas, from simple farmyard creatures and cucumber crocodiles to favourite characters from the world of children's TV, as well as some fun and creative interactive spreads to help get the little ones involved in choosing and making their own lunch.
How to Own the Room
A powerful book about what happens when women find their voice. INCLUDES A NEW INTRODUCTION AND BONUS CHAPTER ON 'HOW TO OWN THE ZOOM' 'The ultimate guide to public speaking. Inspirational.' Mary Portas 'I recommend Viv Groskop's How to Own the Room to anyone wanting more self-confidence.' Philippa Perry __________ Most books about public speaking don't tell you what to do when you open your mouth and nothing comes out. And they don't tell you how to get over the anxiety about performance that most people naturally have. They don't tell you what to do in the moments when you are made, as a woman, to feel small. They don't tell you how to own the room. This book does. From the way Michelle Ob...
