Samantha David is a journalist who has written what could be the perfect summer read: I Married A Pirate is her debut novel and she'll tell you about it below, along with talking about what she's reading now, and women who prefer dogs to men (really)... And yes, we will be reviewing her book at some point, of course! 
Please describe your latest book in 15 words or fewer:
An original, intelligent, irreverant, quirky, laugh-aloud romantic comedy about Bohemia, personal freedom and love. [Ooh, good one! - Diane]
Where do you like to write your books (in bed, a coffee shop, an office)?
At my desk, in front of my computer, preferrably after midnight when I won't be disturbed. (I spend my days at my desk, in front of my computer, being a journalist.)
Your favourite chick-lit book?
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes by Anita Loos.
Your favourite female heroine (if different from above!), and why? 
Flora Poste (from Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons) because she makes me laugh. Tessa Sanger (The Constant Nymph by Margaret Kennedy) because she makes me cry.
What tips would you give to any of our readers who want to become writers?
JDI - Just Do It.
What are you reading at the moment?
The Lady of Shalott (Tennyson), Northanger Abbey (Austen) and Scotland Street (Mccall Smith).
What are you working on now? (If you can give us a hint!)
A romantic comedy about the most charming, intelligent, handsome, sexy man in the world and Rosie - who is stunningly beautiful but prefers dogs to men...
What question have you never been asked in an interview, but think you should have been? (Tell us the question and answer it too, if you like!)
Where shall we send the cheque?
Hee... sorry, we're not asking that either, but thanks, Samantha!
