Person
P.C. Roscoe has sold cheese in Borough Market in London, scrubbed pans in a canteen, poured more pints of beer than is strictly necessary, processed invoices for a multinational, researched TV scripts, and edited romance. But her favourite job, by far, is writing, where she gets to immerse herself in tension-filled, high-stakes stories. She grew up in London, UK, and recently moved to a cottage in Norfolk where she splits her time between writing, cooking disasters and half-finished DIY projects and she honestly couldn't be happier.
