about this author

After writing awful poetry in my teens I started to write and perform slightly better songs with my band. I became a journalist and then started writing plays for BBC Radio. My first book Nude Untitled was followed by The Disappearing Act. The Glimmer Palace (The Luminous Life of Lilly Aphrodite in the UK) took about five years to write. I have just finished another novel called The Songwriter which is set in New York in 1916-20. I have also written a book for children with the illustrator, Sara Pinto.
