I've just read Judy's book on my kindle and I must say I loved it. I loved the way she described the Cornish coast ,very poetic. I didn't like the husband in the book and the way his wife seemed so dependant on him. But it was a great read and I would recommend it to anyone. I'd like to ask Judy if she has started another book and if she would tell us what it's about.

I thoroughly enjoyed Judy's first book and would love to read Eloise. She loves Cornwall & so do I. I admire her for her Book Club which has brought many interesting books to the fore. I wonder which is her favourite book that she has recommended. I enjoyed the Kate Mosse Carcassone ones.

Hi Judy welcome to Gransnet.

I want to thank you for some of the fantastic books I have read through the book club. I remember seeing you on This Morning years ago and you mentioning how you would love to write, and I wonder how it now feels to have achieved your ambition.

My question to Judy would be how did you adapt to being off air after having that life for so long.

Hi Judy

Not sure if its true but were you born at Beech Mount maternity home as I was sixty two years ago. Moved to Cheshire and now on the Isle of Wight but such happy memories of my beginnings.

Hi Judy Congrats on you new book I have always followed you recommendations for books to read and found them mostly to my taste what a great change of career for you,do you see yourself as continuing to write and to keep the topic's of your writings in the Cornish area or further afield ?.Well done you. glamma.

Saw Judy Finnegan on Daybreak when she was promoting her book. It sounds a fantastic read. I spent many holidays in Cornwall. I have some Cornish relations and my dearest friend is from Cornwall. I would love to win this book

Hello Judy..I have always wanted to be a writer but never had the confidence to attempt to write a book, I am attempting to write a short story but I find excuses not to continue so congratulations YOU are now what I would like to be....a WRITER.

Hi Judy, we have come to know you as a television presenter and are familiar with your public persona. What are you like in private?

Hi Judy

As a student in Liverpool, I remember going down to the docks to see Fred do the weather and to try and peak through the smoky glass into the This Morning studios! Apart from yourself and Richard, Fred doing the weather was one of my favourite parts of the show. My question is, "Do you miss anything about the show at all?"

Hi Judy,
Looking forward to 'hearing you though Gransnet'.... maybe one day my 'novel' will grace the bookshelves alongside yours ;-) Yvonne

Where do you get your inspiration for your writing from, & how motivated are you once you commence writing?

congratulations on your book!

Which has given you the most fulfillment presenting or writing??

Loved your book recomendations.

Hi Judy, i am so thrilled you are to be on gransnet,myself and my book club have always followed your book choice and have been extremely happy with your selection, i can't wait to read your new book Eloise.congratulations.i will look forwrd to Wed.21st March...Lillian

I would like to ask Judy if any visitor on the show inspired her to learn a new skill or take up a new hobby.

During your TV shows there was always a lot of banter and friendly witticism between yourself and Richard, while you were writing your book did Richard stay out of your way or was he there to give constructive help and criticism.

I havent read the new book yet. Do you plan on continuing to write more books? and if so what other styles of story would you do? ie murder mystery. comedy etc

Hi Judy,

I'm planning to read your book asap - have just come back from 2 months away in US visiting family & granddaughter & heard your recent chat with Graham Norton on R2.

Would love to know if you now prefer writing & being alone to being up front on air and if you see this as your future career? If so, do you feel this is a natural career development for you - to move away from presenting live to presenting your ideas, thoughts, life experiences etc. in the form of the novel?

Looking forward to what promises to be an excellent read, so thanks in advance!

Haven't read your book yet, but hope to soon. Do you find it easier to write in the calming peaceful atmosphere of Cornwall?

Hello Judy

You moved down south a few years back after living and working in my neck of the woods. Do you miss the north? I would

Dear Judy, I would love to know what made you make the jump from recommending books to writing them and whether it was something you took to instantly or you had to really work at?

The recommendations of the Richard and Judy book club are probably the benchmark of what's hot and what's not for many avid readers - so did you feel a huge amount of pressure for your own book to match up to the quality of the ones you have picked out in the past?

Hi Judy - you're often seen in the celeb world as 'Richard and Judy' - a duo, like 'Ant and Dec'. You both have spent years creating the 'Richard and Judy' brand. How does it feel to step away from that and going solo with your book?

Hello. Following on from cinnamonstix, are you a feminist? What's it like being branded by your marriage? Did you ever think, hey, why can't we be 'Judy and Richard'?!
