I was born in the UK but raised round the world and spent most of my childhood with my nose in a book. When I was seven I wrote my first proper story about a magic puddle that flipped up to reveal a secret world underground.
I’m now a non-practicing engineer who works in project management. I write romance and young adult stories. I’ve been a voice-over and radio continuity artist. I love country music and used to have my own radio show. My boyfriend says I have an unhealthy obsession with Kenny Chesney. I live in London.

Review: 'No One Wants to Be Miss Havisham' by Brigid Coady By Jody - "A Spoonful of Happy Endings" Edie Dickens loves her job as a divorce lawyer because it confirms her beliefs that real love does not exist and neither do happy endings. Completely against her own principles, Edie takes on the role of head bridesmaid at her best friend Mel's wedding, but only because it's Mel and because she couldn't have possibly refused. One night Edie is suddenly visited by the ghost of her friend Jessica Marley, who tells her she will have to change if she wants to find happiness of her own. In the weeks before the wedding, Edie will be visited by the three ghosts of Weddings Past, Present and Future, to shed some light on her life. When handsome lawyer and colleague Jack Twist is also thrown in the mix, Edie is confronted with all kinds of feelings and thoughts she didn't know she had. But will it be enough for her to change her ways, once and for all?I love retellings of Charles Dickens' 'A Christmas Carol'; it's such a wonderful classic which I simply can't get enough of and authors can do so many different things with it. Brigid Coady has definitely written her own version of the famous tale, with instead of a Christmas theme a wedding theme at its core, which I loved. While the plotline and some of the characters are clearly based on Dickens' classic, the novel has its own touch and some different elements in there as well. Main character Edie is considered to be cold-hearted and ruthless, but there was just something about her which intrigued me and which I liked from the start. As the story progressed, the reader learns a lot about Edie and why she is the way she is. I really liked getting to know Edie and seeing her change because of everything that happens to her.The book has a solid and well-drawn cast of secondary characters, including a handsome man in the form of lawyer and ex-Rugby player Jack Twist. This touch of romance really added another layer to the story (there's hardly any romance in Dickens' original, of course) and I loved the chemistry between him and Edie. I also want to mention the gorgeous book cover and great title, which both also really made me want to pick up this novel. I read another review which termed this novel 'Dickens with a chick-lit make-over' and I really think that sums up this novel quite well. Overall, 'No One Wants to Be Miss Havisham' is an entertaining and well-written story about second chances and being able to change who you are and what you believe in; a fabulous retelling of a classic tale that I loved from start to finish!
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. An orginal romance with a quirky twist By K. L. Beeden When I first read the blurb for No One Wants to Be Miss Havisham I wasn't sure what to think. I'd loved Brigid's 'Kiss' short stories and this sounded like something way out of leftfield in comparison. Romance stories with ghosts are a bit hit and miss for me, and anything paranormal is out of my comfort zone. This, however, is a work of genius. The ghostly elements are humorous (leaving trails of pink glitter in their wake) as well as giving the reader an opportunity to find out about Edie's background by visiting weddings of the past, present and future.I really liked Edie's dry and cynical outlook, especially when compared to the romantic viewpoint of everyone else in the book and it was highly believable that she'd feel that way when her own experience of relationships is less than perfect. She's somehow both bright and ditzy, and although she has a reputation for being hard nosed, her personality changes as the book progresses. She's unlike most romantic heroines, that's for sure.Now onto Jack. Jack Twist was a great character. Rugby player and local hero, he works with Edie at a law firm. He's strong in every sense and a no-nonsense kind of guy. However, he's warm-hearted and always seems to be the one helping Edie out of all the messes she gets herself into. There's one scene where Edie longs for her feet to be on solid ground and Jack's there beside her, offering support. My heart was all aflutter right then and I could have done with the smelling salts. I was full on swooning, I'm telling you now.If laughs are your thing, then Coady's observations will have you chuckling- there are some hilarious portrayals of characters (Edie's boss in particular!), cringeworthy weddings and alcohol induced embarrassments. I think I'm going to be looking closely at suit linings for the foreseeable future as a result of this book...Overall, it's a well written and touching debut which strikes the balance between humour and heart. If you're looking for an original romance with a quirky twist, look no further- Brigid Coady has stepped up to the helm.No One Wants to Be Miss Havisham may appeal to fans of Marian Keyes, Sophie Kinsella and Carmen Reid.
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. worked beautifully with the modern-day story of Edie Dickens By LoveBooks212 Chick Lit is my cup of tea, and I was drawn right in by the gorgeous cover of this book. I was a little bit skeptical when I realized that it was going to involve elements of a Christmas Carol. I'm not generally a fan of books that are an overlay of an existing story. This premise, however, worked beautifully with the modern-day story of Edie Dickens. Coady skillfully used the older tale as a jumping-off point without ever belaboring it. I never rolled my eyes at the device.Our heroine is a tough as nails, self-described "shark" of a divorce lawyer. She doesn't believe in love, marriage, or commitment. Once a carefree child, a traumatic event led to her closing herself off to these possibilities, and indeed to happiness itself. Instead, she aligns herself with Ms. Satis, a cold-hearted titan in the divorce law game. Her mentor hates love and marriage and preaches against weakness.Edie picks apart the weak, breathes down the necks of the slow, and mocks the romantic. No one likes her, including, we suspect, herself. But, she grits her teeth and gets through every day, holding herself to an impossibly high standard and ticking off successes in business. It's remarked that it must be cold in her bed at night.She's asked to be a bridesmaid in the wedding of the only friend she has, and despite the torture of it, she endures. Her having a best friend is the only spark of humanity we see. The bride's parents start to misbehave, propelling Edie into behaving like a disapproving task-mistress to ensure they don't ruin her best friend's big day.Enter Jack Twist. As I read the book, I could only picture Jon Hamm/Don Draper (but nice). A pro Rugby player and skilled lawyer, Jack Twist is the object of every girl in their shared firm's attention. On a dare at a hen night, Edie winds up in a compromising position with the knight. He makes her feel uncertain and off-kilter: Her reaction to this is rage. She does everything she can to drive him away, licking his wounds. But, Jack's more than a match for Edie.He magically appears at all the right times with all the solutions to all of her problems. As she begins to be visited by ghosts of weddings past, and as she is forced to face the woman she has become, Edie grows increasingly unraveled and in need of saving.Like Scrooge, Edie has a mirror held up to herself in this tale, and when she can no longer bear what she sees, she has to make difficult new choices.My favorite books follow the journey of a woman's growth and this book fits the bill. I enjoyed the rawness and honesty of Edie's self-evaluation, and the vulnerability she showed when faced with the puzzle that affected her entire life, forming her personality. The fact that hero Jack brings romance into the mix was icing on the (wedding) cake. The resolution is immensely satisfying.Old-School Chick Lit, and I really enjoyed it.
