Pam Jenoff, author of The Kommandant's Girl Miranda Dickinson has
always had a head full of stories. Following a Performance Art degree,
she began to write in earnest when a friend gave her The World's Slowest
PC. She is also a singer-songwriter.
Claudia Carroll was born in Dublin, where she still lives and where she
has worked extensively both as a theatre and television actress.
Julia Williams has always made up stories in her head, and until
recently she thought everyone else did too. After the birth of the
second, Julia went freelance and decided to try her hand at writing.
Liz Trenow worked for many years as a journalist for national and
regional newspapers, and for BBC radio and television news, and is now a
full time writer.
Mhairi Mcfarlane was born in Scotland in 1976 and has been explaining
how to pronounce her name ever since. (With a 'V', not an 'M'. Yes,
that's us crazy Celts for you).
