Confessions of an Eco-Shopper is a companion blog to my book, Confessions of an Eco-Shopper: the true story of one woman's mission to go green, published by Hodder.

If you'd like to get in touch with me about the book or the blog, email me at kate@ecosmartshopper.co.uk

The Press Column contains my weekly columns for The Press newspaper in York from 2006-2007.

Dangerous Love contains interviews about my true-life/crime memoir published by Ebury in 2005.
