The Ramblings in Your Head

Still thinking romance? The Sydney Morning Herald spends some time today with a newcomer you’re likely to be hearing about, advertising copywriter-turned-overnight-sensation, Toni Jordan.

She had absolutely no pretensions as a novelist, she continues, coming from a background where “it seems so self-indulgent [to imagine] that anyone should be interested in the ramblings of your head”. She claims to be devoid of all creativity except a modest amount of literary skill. Yet her debut novel Addition, a witty and sexy romp about a woman obsessed with numbers and a hunky stranger, is due out with much fanfare in Australia next month and has been sold in nine countries.

The Herald piece is here.
