Freya North
is the author of 11 bestselling novels which have, in a career spanning 15 years, been translated into many languages. Though often hailed as one of the founders of Chick Lit, she can’t stand the term, preferring to classify her novels ‘feisty romps’. From teenage girls to elderly gentlemen, Freya’s novels have won the hearts of legions of readers worldwide. In 2008, she won the Romantic Novel of the Year Award for
Pillow Talk
.

At school, Freya was constantly reprimanded for day-dreaming – so she still can’t quite believe that essentially, this is what she is now paid to do. She was born in London but lives in rural Hertfordshire with her family and other animals, where she writes from a stable in her back garden.
