About the Author
I've been writing psychological suspense novels since 2008, when my first bestseller - His Other Lover - was published. I write full time (mostly on the playroom sofa) from my home in Devon, UK where I live with my husband and children. Before that, I used to interview the likes of Britney Spears for a living, making absolutely no use whatsoever of my psychology degree from Warwick University, but it was a lot of fun.
I'm addicted to writing about the extraordinary things that can happen to ordinary people - I like stories that jump in at the deep end, with a gasp. When readers take the time out to let me know they've stayed up all night because they couldn't put the book down, it makes my day.
I really enjoy catching up with readers and always reply to emails. You can reach me at lucy@lucydawsonbooks.com. I'm also on Twitter @lucydawsonbooks and have a Facebook page at lucydawsonbooks. Alternatively you can download a free short story of mine at www.lucydawsonbooks.com or if you want to look at a lot of pictures of the beach and books that I'm reading, find me on Instagram at lucydawsonbooks.
