Bad Housekeeping ISBN 095433776X
Ever since Bad Housekeeping was introduced as a regular column in the Weekend Guardian, readers have been both tickled and gripped by the continuing saga of domestic mayhem that is the life of 196 Cranford Gardens. This is the home of Dulcie Domum - housewife, feminist, mother of two, intended 'bonkbuster' novelist - and the place wherein her dreams of a decent, peaceful and productive life are daily squashed.

Dulcie's Spouse, a minor academic, has been awarded a sabbatical in the U.S.A., but Dulcie has decided to stay behind. Has her devotion to her children, the rude and revolting Henry and Harriet, inspired this sacrifice? Or has she an ulterior motive?
Dulcie Dishes the Dirt ISBN 0954337786
It's another year, another bonkbuster and Dulcie Domum is tussling with her reluctant new heroine Fanny Hoddle. How can she possibly manoeuvre the Maid of Berpsover into enough compromising positions to satisfy the sales-hungry appetites of publisher Jeremy D'Arcy?
Meanwhile, back in the real world of Cranford Gardens, Rusbridge, Dulcie extends a cautious hand of friendship to Elaine-from-over-the-road, whose exotic rarity as a childless, Spouseless, independent woman offers all sorts of possibilities.
Unforeseen, however, was the possibility that Elaine would nab Tom, Dulcie's ex-but-still-exciting lover…..
Dulcie Goes Native ISBN 0954337794
Disaster strikes when Dulcie discovers that her Spouse has inadvertently impregnated their pretty neighbour Elaine, making the fashionable leap from middle-aged wife to gorgeous young one. The price he has to pay for this transition is a baby, which Dulcie hopes will be particularly noisy and venomous.
With impeccable timing, Dulcie decides to move to the country at the very moment when her adolescent children Henry and Harriet become addicted to the racy pleasures of the town. In her passion for Vile Cottage, Dulcie briefly forgets her fear of isolation, the dark, and things that scratch against the window pane.
