Person
Ann Pilling was brought up in Warrington, Cheshire, and many of her books are set in the industrial North West. After reading English as London University, she taught in Buckinghamshire (the setting for The Empty Frame), then spent some time in America before returning to England and settling in Oxford. She is married with two sons and one grandson. Ann has been writing books for children since 1983. Her first published novel was Black Harvest, the first in a series of five ghost stories. Whenever possible, Ann retreats to the Yorkshire Dales which she calls 'the country of my heart'.
