'I quit my job as a recruitment consultant to become a top-selling erotic novelist'

A mum-of-three quit her job as a recruitment consultant and went on to become a best-selling erotic author - as well as a stand-up comedian and a social media celebrity.

Stephanie Oram, from Blackpool, was inspired to write a realistic and witty book for 'the average woman' after reading a few lines of the popular novel Fifty Shades Of Grey. Now, she shares all kinds of tales about women going through the menopause - and has even grown a mass following online.

The 52-year-old wrote her debut novel Wax, Whips And My Hairy Bits during lockdown, and after taking part in a phone-in on ITV This Morning, it was the second most popular book on Amazon. Stephanie wants to help women see the funny side of the menopause especially, and has published a book called It’s Not The F&!#@%G Change!, which features real women’s funniest stories and quotes from their experiences.
