Author Bio
Diane Messidoro spent her teens shimmying at discos, falling off horses and swooning over unsuitable boys. While she loved the dancing, and even the riding, she found the rules of attraction totally confusing. So, as soon as she left school, Diane started to study - boys! She worked tirelessly, chasing posh Harrys round Chelsea and edgy Zeds round Soho, chatting up moody artists and brawny builders, dating heartless lotharios and hopeless romantics. She hung out with racing drivers and politicians, explorers and musicians. She even met The Strongest Man In The World! She did everything wrong (at least twice) and had her heart broken over and over again. But, gradually, she began to understand the strange behaviour of the male human species - and that, really, it's all pretty simple... How to Keep a Boy as a Pet is the result. When she's not making up stories, Diane works as an advertising copywriter, telling the truth at all times. She lives in London with two disobedient pet cats and an occasionally obedient pet husband.
