The Mumpreneur Diaries

 

who is Mosey Jones?


Mosey is a writer and journalist whose expertise spans business to parenting and all points in between. Mum to Boy One and Boy Two, she is frequently frazzled, bemused and knackered. This does not stop her watching bad US drama instead of 'sleeping when baby sleeps' (whoever said that only has one child) or making a start on the washing up. For the latter, she has employed a husband, to whom she is paying minimum wage, and even less attention.


Mosey also writes under the name Morag Cuddeford-Jones, which annoys sub-editors a lot and takes up far too many characters on twitter.

BBC Breakfast

Allegedly, now stick with me here, allegedly some men don't pull their weight around the home. I know! Ridiculous! But there it is. Anyway, I appeared on BBC Breakfast with motoring correspondent Quentin Wilson to argue the toss...



BBC Radio Berkshire

A regular co-host on Henry Kelly's mid-morning show, we've covered topics ranging from medieval beauty tips (ever heard of virgin wax?) to youth crime via Strictly Come Dancing.

And sometimes Henry makes way for Sarah Walker which leads to double trouble with two women at the helm for an hour. The topics are just as serious, the perspective wholly fresh.



my agents

The deal for The Mumpreneur Diaries was struck by non-fiction literary agents Graham Maw Christie. Clients include Jack Osborne, son of Ozzy and reality TV star and The Sunday Times' alternative health expert, Jennifer Harper-Deacon.

They were an invaluable part of bringing the book to reality and contributed to every stage from developing the concept to the final proof and promotion. Absolutely couldn't have done it without them - in fact, I hope we can do it all over again!

Mum Stuff (2007, Simon & Schuster) is a compendium of all the wise words your mother tried to pass on to you, only you were too busy playing Duran Duran on 7" and painting your nails black. Now that you're confronted by the school play and five kilos of rotting blackcurrants, you're beginning to wish you'd listened.
