'I don't do public displays of grief' - romance writer Lesley Pearse's life has been as strange as any of her novels

Lesley Pearse is celebrating 25 years as a bestselling author. In her case, that means 26 novels, and more than 10m books sold. She is 73 - her first novel was published when she was 48 - and looks great, not just for her age but for any age: strong, vibrant, glamorous.
