Wendy Holden

Wendy Holden (born 6 December, 1965) is a British journalist and the author of a number of humorous novels.

She should not be confused with another writer called Wendy Holden, a former journalist and author of sixteen non-fiction books, including "Heaven and hell : my life in the Eagles", now writing fiction under the name Taylor Holden, who has a blog at [http://taylorholden.blogspot.com/ Wendy Holden] .

Biography

Brought up near Harrogate, schooled in Cleckheaton and educated at Girton College, Cambridge, Holden's first job after university was on the arts magazine "Apollo", after which she edited a magazine for foreign diplomats in London for several years. In 1992, she moved to "Harper's Bazaar", where she worked for three years before going to the "Sunday Telegraph Magazine", and then, in 1995, "The Sunday Times" Style section. In 1997, she became deputy editor of "Tatler", and later moved to the "Mail on Sunday"’s You magazine, which she left in 2000 to concentrate on writing. Holden is married, has two children, and lives in Derbyshire and London.

Novels

Her novels, characterised by their fast pace and punning titles, include:
* "Simply Divine" (1999)
* "Bad Heir Day" (2000)
* "Pastures Nouveaux" (2001)
* "Fame Fatale" (2002)
* "Azur Like It" (2004)
* "The Wives of Bath (Holden)|The Wives of Bath" (2005)
* "The School for Husbands" (2006)

Confusingly for British readers of Holden's 2002 work, the earlier "Pastures Nouveaux" was retitled "Farm Fatale" for publication in the United States. "Fame Fatale was then retitled "Gossip Hound"
