Person
With a passion for reading from practically the moment she was born; it was inevitable Fiona would become a writer. Sure enough, after studying English Literature at university, Fiona became a journalist before making her move to books where she began ghost writing fiction for celebrities (too famous to name, of course). One day, some bright spark suggested she write her own stories and, suddenly, an idea was born. She lives in Berkshire with her husband and two cats, and has an unhealthy attitude towards exercise and chocolate - believing one must surely cancel out the other.
