Who dares wins

You’d think that a Big Law associate on £150K p.a. would be bright enough to figure that she should use a pseudonym when publishing her raunchy novel on the web.

Not so Deidre Dare, [ex-]Senior Associate at Allen & Overy, Russia [see update].

But could it be she didn’t see her future at A & O and figured that she could use the inevitable rap on the knuckles to generate sufficient press interest to land a lucrative publishing deal? Forbidden from publishing further chapters of her maesterwork Expat for the time being, she is no doubt entertaining offers as I write.

Update (2 Feb): Sacked, writing a Sexpat column for a Russian paper and awaiting book deal via her agent. I told you so.
