Mary Gibson was born and brought up in Bermondsey, south east London. In 2009, after a thirty year career in publishing, she took the opportunity of early retirement to write a book of her own! Her début novel, Custard Tarts and Broken Hearts was inspired by the lives and times of her grandparents in World War One Bermondsey and went on to become a top ten Kindle best seller. It was selected as one of twenty titles for World Book Night 2015. Six more Bermondsey novels have followed, Jam and Roses, Gunner Girls and Fighter Boys, Bourbon Creams and Tattered Dreams , Hattie's Home, A Sister's Struggle and The Bermondsey Bookshop.

My fourth, entitled 'Bourbon Cream & Tattered Dreams', will be published at the end if this year. Set in thirties Bermondsey it continues the story of Matty Gilbie, who appeared in Custard Tarts. I'm writing my fifth novel now, about three women who return to a ruined, post war Bermondsey, each struggling to overcome the scars of war. Hope you enjoy the rest of my Bermondsey novels! (less)
