I’m writing a little memoir, kids called, A Mind Of My Own.
Eeek! Due to be available at the end of October. The link will lead to presales, signed copies etc. Suppose I’d best get on with it! ♥️📚 #AMindOfMyOwn https://t.co/DrXk5U63K3

[Simon & Schuster UK @simonschusterUK]

Excited to announce that @KathyBurke A MIND OF MY OWN will be out on 23 October!

Whether you know her as the beloved Perry, for her award-winning acting, or for being proudly woke and calling out tw*ts on social media, Kathy has always had a mind of her own. Funny and wise, this is her memoir.
