Description

The time is the future. Multinationals rule the world and one, The Company, has moved its whole research operation to Omega Seven. Omega Seven - or the Paradise Planet. Perfect weather; perfect people; no pollution; no poverty. To Luke, Omega Seven seems like the most boring planet in the universe. To others, it harbours a dark secret, one hidden by the mysterious blue mountain. Are they all taking part in a sophisticated virtual reality game? Or is this perfect world about to crack? A fast-paced thriller of a novel where it's impossible to separate what is true and what is false.

My father was a brilliant story-teller. He had a very boring day-job, so exercised his mind making up long, involved (and often very funny) bedtime stories for my sister and me - with a cliff-hanger ending every night! On the rare occasions when he was stuck for ideas, he used to fall back on lesser-known folk tales. Re-telling traditional stories is still the kind of writing I most enjoy.

At school I used the English essay subjects we were given as an excuse to write stories of my own, which weren't always appreciated. 'Write on the subject!' written in red and a mark of C+ was my first experience of rejection.

My French teacher was more appreciative, which maybe explains why I ended up doing not English but French at university. Straight after graduation I married and settled down to be a full-time wife and mother - it was a straight choice in those days between motherhood or a career.

Apart from some freelance journalism and a few stories for radio, my writing career was on hold until my three sons were grown up, at which point I decided it was now or never if I wanted to be a full-time writer.

I was lucky enough to get my first book - a retelling of an old East Anglian folk tale - accepted by the second publisher I sent it to. Luckier still to get a review from Susan Hill, saying it deserved to become a children's classic. (It didn't, of course.)

Since then I've published around thirty books, ranging from picture book texts to a teenage vampire novel.

My first young teenage novel, 'Owl-light', was short-listed for the WH Smith Mind-Boggling Books award.

My most recent one, 'Shadow of the Beast', was long-listed for the Carnegie Medal.

Nowadays, I'm a book junkie. I buy more books than I can ever possibly read and enjoy all kinds, bar chick-lit and modern biography.

My other interests include cryptic crosswords, going to the theatre and foreign travel.
