The Little Lady Agency

Hester Browne is a writer who lives in London some of the time, and Herefordshire for the rest. She has a basset hound called Violet, a British Racing green sportscar, a serious baking habit, and many, many red lipsticks, all pretty much the same colour. When she’s not writing novels about nice girls doing rather dubious things, she likes going for long walks, and learning how to reel.

If you’d like to send Hester some Ghirardelli semi-sweet baking chips (via her agents, David Higham Associates in London or Inkwell Management in New York), she’d be forever grateful as you just can’t get them over here, and they do make the best chocolate chip cookies.
