Claire Lorrimer26 Sept 2007
The eighty-six year old romance writer talks about her writing career.

Long before Barbara Cartland became known as the Queen of Romance, Denise Robins was Britain’s best known romantic novelist. Her daughter Patricia followed in her footsteps and also became a romance writer. Now 86, she has published 80 books under the name Patricia Robins and the pseudonym Claire Lorrimer. She has just written her autobiography, called 'You Never Know'. Jennifer Chevalier meets her at her home in Kent.

'You Never Know: An Autobiography' by Claire Lorrimer is published by Pen Press Publishers Ltd, ISBN: 1-905621-30-2.
