DIAMONDS are not a girl's best friend.




The title of my e-book The Sea with Diamonds refers specifically to the Bosphorus, the stretch of water that runs through Istanbul, glinting and sparkling in the sun. But anyone who has ever seen an expanse of  water with thousands of dazzling pinpricks of light sparking off it will know the effect is just magical - better than any solid carbon diamond - and free.

They say 'diamonds are a girl's best friend' but that isn't true. A girl's loved ones, human and animal, are their best friends, unless that girl is a fool. Or maybe I am the fool and the gold-digging, diamond-loving trollops are the sensible ones. Who knows? Humph!!!
