I was born in Washington DC in 1956--American father, English mother--and grew up there, in Chile, and in Michigan. I studied English and Classics (Greek) at the University of Michigan, then went on to do a second degree in Classics (Greek and Latin) at Newnham College, Cambridge. I'd started writing pretty much as soon as I could set pen to paper, but I sold my first novel when I was revising for my final exams at Cambridge. (Revision suffered: I was getting what seemed a lot of money for revising the book, but nothing for revising Textual Criticism--and Text Crit was much harder! I managed a 2-1: I might have got a first without the distraction. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.) I decided to stay on at Cambridge for another year and write a sequel. This proved to be a fatal decision, as I met my husband during that year, and never went back to the States.(Well, we had a year in California while he was a post-doc, but that hardly counts. I've now written more than twenty novels. Many of them use my background in Classics, but I've also done some sci-fi and some contemporary fiction, as well as three childrens' books which I wrote for my own kids. (I have four: they're now grown up, and the first grandchild has arrived. I'd like to do a story for him, when he's a little older.) When I'm not writing I like walking,cooking,singing with a choral society, and minding the grandson. We currently live in Coventry.
