Liz Hodgkinson: author and journalist.

Liz’s new book,  Alex Williams: The Survival of an Artist,  will be published by Quartet Books on May 2nd, 2012.  This intimate, revealing biography tells the story of a versatile and accomplished artist whose work deserves to be much better known.

Liz’s other new book, Why Women Believe in God, will be published in June 2012 by John Hunt Publishing.  The publishers’ advance blurb says this book will entertain, educate and annoy in equal amounts.

Her latest property book, the 5th edition of The Complete Guide to Investing in Property, was published by Kogan Page in April 2010.

Liz has written more than 50 books on a wide variety of subjects including biography, autobiography, health, personal growth, property and relationships. Her books have been translated into over 20 languages.

She has worked on four national newspapers: The Sunday People, Sun, Daily Mail and Times, and continues to contribute to many publications and websites, including the popular, highly amusing Gentlemen Ranters site, where old - and new - hacks reminisce - and rant. Liz’s book Ladies of the Street, published by Revel Barker in 2008, is an entertaining history of the pioneer women who fought their way into Fleet Street, in the good old days.

A regular broadcaster on radio and TV, Liz is also in demand as a public speaker, particularly on ‘glass ceiling’ and women’s issues. She is now writing about getting older from a positive point of view and to counteract the mainly negative images of old - or older - people. Liz has also been recording her attempts—so far unsuccessful - to find a new life partner; somebody who will be a worthy successor to her late partner John Sandilands and former husband Neville Hodgkinson.

Those who have enjoyed the brilliantly witty John Sandilands site and have not been able to access it lately, will be delighted to know that it is now available to view as a separate section on this site.  John, who died in 2004, and who was Liz’s partner for 13 years, was one of the funniest writers of his generation so for those who are new to his work, prepare yourselves for a real treat.
