I was born in London in 1976 and have lived here all my life. I studied Social Anthropology and Visual Anthropology and worked in TV for several years. I left TV to become a writer in 2003, and worked in bookshops while I was writing ‘Gods Behaving Badly’.  I now write full time. My most recent publication is a non-fiction piece entitled ‘Change’ in the Plan International / Vintage Books anthology ‘Because I Am A Girl’, describing my harrowing visit to witness the development charity’s work in Uganda. I am currently working on my second novel.
