What a lovely Christmas gift to arrive in the post from the gorgeous Mandy Shires!

"Beauty Queens, Frogs and Princes" is exactly that: a fascinating account of this lovely lady's life so far, a memoir that takes the reader on her own personal journey, from Yorkshire, to Rhodesia and Australia, and back again, generously illustrated with family photos and news articles.

Along the way we learn of her adventures as a beauty queen, culminating in her crowning as Miss United Kingdom 1985 and first runner-up to Miss World.

Mandy's honesty and humour shines through as she recounts the mistake that threatened to derail her reign; the heartaches she faced from men along the way; her joy at the birth of her daughter and, finally, meeting her fiance Steve, just when she felt all hope at finding her Prince was lost.

Thank you so much for sending me your book, Mandy, I am engrossed!

"Beauty Queens, Frogs and Princes" is available now from Amazon and Waterstones. Buy it now for an excellent New Year's read!
