Has Twitter helped you with promoting your new book? Does being the 102nd Most Influential Person on Twitter mean anything?

I think a few more people have been made aware of it. I was very surprised to be so high up. I think it’s because I try and reply to tweeps.

You seem to be mildly obsessed with @KirstieAlley – do you think her tweets are genius or snippets of a breakdown?

I embrace eccentrics. Her tweets with @MelissaEGilbert are Internet gold. Gilbert fixing kirstie’s toilet? The stuff dreams are made on

You are on Twitter, you’ve blogged since 2003 – how much of a geek are you? Or just very PR-savvy? Or lonely like @Herring1967?

I spend a lot of time writing so I have a lot of social sites open. It makes me feel as if I work in an office. See you at the watercooler
