Nicola Thorne's
perceptive storytelling skills have
won her an army of fans, and she is
the author of many well-known
novels.
She was born in Cape Town, South
Africa. Her father was English, her
mother a New Zealander as a
consequence of which she travelled a
great deal as a child.
The family finally came to roost in
England, and Nicola attended a
convent school in the north of
England, a co-educational school in
Cheshire and then completed her
education at the London School of
Economics where she graduated in
sociology.
|
She always wanted to
pursue a literary career, however,
and while she wrote her early
novels, worked as an editor for a
publishing house. Since then she has
written over fifty novels in various
genres - gothic, historical,
contemporary - nearly half a million
of which are borrowed in the UK
public libraries every year. She has
also been translated into most of
the world's main languages,
including Japanese.
For many years she lived in London,
but has now made her home in Devon
after several years in Dorset, the
scene of many of her novels. |
