Writer’s Reveal<br />
meets Gill Sims<br />
WORDS LORAINE PATRICK<br />
Glasgow based writer Gill Sims is the<br />
best-selling author of Why Mummy<br />
Drinks and Why Mummy Swears,<br />
both Sunday Times bestsellers. The books<br />
are based on her hilarious (if rather sweary)<br />
parenting blog Peter and Jane. The mum of<br />
two was an engineerining consultant before<br />
being approached by HarperCollins to<br />
publish her musings on family life. She now<br />
writes full-time.<br />
Gill thanks for taking time out to catch<br />
up with Westender magazine. I have to<br />
put in a bit of a disclaimer here – I am a<br />
mum of three and your descriptions of<br />
family life have me in stitches. Take us<br />
back to why you started up the Facebook<br />
blog – was it a way of sharing your<br />
experiences with friends or did you think<br />
at the time it could be something much<br />
bigger?
