Girl With A One-Track Mind
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
…
Girl With A One-Track Mind is a blog by Abby Lee (pen name of Zoe Margolis, born 1973), in which the author writes in detail about her life as a sexually active young woman in London. The blog has won praise for its keen psychological insights into male and female sexuality, as well as for the author's earthy humour. It claims over 100,000 readers a month, and won the "Best British or Irish Blog" award at the 2006 Bloggies.
In August 2006, Lee published the text of the blog as a book with the same name. It was published by Ebury Press on 3 August 2006 (ISBN 0-09-191240-7) and immediately entered the British best seller lists. British news reports claimed it attracted a "six figure" (pounds) advance.
Soon after the book was published, the Sunday Times published an article which revealed the identity of the author as Zoe Margolis, an assistant film producer. Margolis was traumatised by the identification and went into hiding. She continues, however, to write the blog.
