Her last novel, The Wrong Girl, was published back in 2014.
And Zoë Foster Blake has admitted she’s ‘lost confidence’ in her writing as the entrepreneur’s skincare empire goes from strength to strength.
‘I have a few ideas for another novel but I read too many stunning novels that it makes it worse because then I get paralysed by how good everyone is,’ the mother-of-two admitted to the Sydney Morning Herald on Saturday.

The Go-To skincare range founder said, ‘Pre-kids is when I did most of my fiction and I think I might have lost my confidence.’
Her first child, a son named Sonny with her husband Hamish Blake, was born in 2014, followed by daughter Rudy in 2017.
Speaking of her future writing ambitions, Zoë – who recently enjoyed an $89million pay day after selling her controlling stake in Go-To – added, ‘I’ve got to get back on the horse.’
The author and former journalist has penned four novels including The Wrong Girl, which was adapted into a Channel 10 series starring Jessica Marais in 2016.

However despite her lack of productivity on the novel front, Zoë has recently become a prolific writer of kids’ books.
Earlier this month, the former Cosmopolitan Magazine beauty director revealed she is releasing another children’s book in November.
The busy mum, who has published more than 12 books altogether, announced her newest title, Scaredy Bath.

‘Signed a shipload of my very adorable new picture book (on sale Nov 2) Scaredy Bath today (they’ll be live on Booktopia soon),’ she wrote alongside a photo she posted on Instagram.
Zoë added that she was excited to meet her readers in book stores again.
‘But oh how I long to sign for a line of friendly faces in bookshops again! Maybejuzmaybe that will be on the cards by Nov/Dec, which is about when my hand will have recovered from today’s session,’ she joked.
Zoe’s 13th title is a picture book which aims to help ease the anxiety around bath time for children and parents.

Zoe also shared footage of her signed books on her Instagram Stories.
‘My hope is that I can do some real life signings in book shops in Nov and Dec. I miss you guys,’ she wrote.
‘Wanna scribble on your books and tell you I love you in person,’ she added.
Zoë started her career in magazines back in 2002 as a beauty journalist, before turning her hand to books and eventually starting her skincare company in 2014.
After turning 41 on July 28, Zoë expressed her disappointment at having had to celebrate two consecutive birthdays in lockdown.
‘To think I was but a sweet baby lamb in my thirties before this s**tshow kicked off…’ she wrote on Instagram.
‘Anyway! I hear getting double lockdown birthdays is actually good luck. Real five-leaf clover.’
Zoë included a photo of herself flipping off the camera with both hands as she stood barefoot on her balcony at home.
Making a move: After enduring Melbourne’s strict COVID lockdown in July last year, Zoë relocated to Sydney earlier this year with her husband of nine years, Hamish Blake, and their two children
