Chatting about her Rom-Com novels with author Suzan Holder


Listen Later

Journalist and TV producer Suzan has woven her love for Elvis and The Beatles into two hilarious stories that also draw on her own dating disasters - before she met her musician husband - former Slade frontman Noddy Holder!


Speaking with Suzan Holder, it's clear that this independently strong woman has carved her own way in a male-dominated world of music. Long before she ever met the Slade frontman of one of Glam rock's most successful bands, her life experience was worth being put into print.

Her latest novel is set in (where else?) Liverpool and features a Beatles-obsessed fifty-something mother of three who gets into trouble when she goes looking for love on a dating website. Can ‘Beatles Bev’ ever find a man to love as much as she loves Paul McCartney? It’s not looking good when her antics become a

talking point on a daytime TV talk show! Also discussed is her trip to Elvis's birthplace in the US which gave her inspiration for her other novel Rock 'n' Rose.

Both Shake it Up, Beverley and Rock 'n' Rose (published by One More Chapter, HarperCollins) are available from all good bookstores.
