Geri Halliwell's solo no

Geri Halliwell says her career as a solo artist is over.

The star insists she won't be releasing anymore records on her own now the Spice Girls reunion tour is over, because she wants to concentrate on being an author.

Geri - who is about to release her first children's book, 'Eugenia Lavender' - said: "I feel like I've hung up my hot pants now. I'll always try and be honest about myself. I've finished as a solo artist. Right now I just feel really comfortable writing books."

The 34-year-old - also known as Ginger Spice - believes the Spice Girls recent reunion has brought the girls closer together.

Geri - who was joined on the road by Victoria Beckham, Mel C, Emma Bunton and Mel B - added: "I feel we are just like a family. We clicked again straight away - it's just like a family travelling in a bubble. I really enjoy our relationships. But I always wish I had left the group under better circumstances, rather than just walking out. But that's exactly why I wanted to do it again."
