Author's 'dream-like' Golden Globes nomination
BBCAn East Sussex author has arrived in Los Angeles ahead of this year's Golden Globe Awards, where she will attend the ceremony following major nominations for the TV adaptation of her debut novel.
Michelle Frances, author of The Girlfriend, described her imminent attendance of the 83rd awards ceremony as "something of a dream-like quality".
"It was such an amazing surprise to have the show nominated and I am now here in LA," she said.
The Girlfriend is a psychological thriller which focuses on a mother's relationship with her son's girlfriend.
Frances said she had an overseeing role in the TV adaptation, which stars Robin Wright, Olivia Cooke and Laurie Davidson.
"I was delighted when I was asked to be part of the show and its development when it was filming," she added.
The other TV series contending for the Best Limited Series are Adolescence, All Her Fault, Dying for Sex, Black Mirror and The Beast In Me.
When asked about her thoughts on meeting celebrities and walking the red carpet, Frances replied she has "never done this before".
She added she would just "enjoy her every minute of the occasion" and her visit to LA.
The winners are due to be announced on Monday, at 01:00 GMT.
