About the author
Elizabeth Coleman
37 books42 followersElizabeth Coleman wrote her first novel when she was seven – that’s if you can call four pages in an old exercise book a novel.
She was a huge Enid Blyton fan and didn’t let the fact that she’d never been out of Australia deter her from writing a story about an English boarding school, full of girls having midnight feasts in the dorm and saying stuff like: ‘I say, we’re off to Cornwall for the hols!’
When her mum and dad gently suggested that she try writing about an Australian school, Elizabeth was appalled. Who cares about an Australian school? Not a midnight feast or a scary but benign matron in sight.
Elizabeth is the author of four published plays, including the smash hits Secret Bridesmaids' Business and It's My Party (And I'll Die If I Want To). Her theatre writing has also appeared in several anthologies. As a screenwriter Elizabeth adapted Secret Bridesmaids' Business into an award-winning ABC telemovie and has written for many of Australia's most popular dramas, including Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries and Bed of Roses, which she co-created with Jutta Goetze. Losing the Plot is her first novel.

It was okay and exactly what I expected. I read it in one sitting and it was a bit of light relief after reading The Fault in Our Stars by John Green and The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath, which are two very emotionally charged books. It's great for anyone who remembers watching Home and Away in the 80s and 90s.
