Autorenporträt
Olivia grew up in a village by the sea. Coming from a family of gardeners and with a mother fond of storytelling, she was very excited when she was finally able to read by herself and immerse herself in a world of books and stories. She has an MA in English Literature. She worked in cafés, as a support worker for people with learning difficulties, a teaching assistant in an SEN unit and taught in secondary schools. After a stint in a marketing company she now works in a bank where she spends her days trying to solve conundrums for her clients. In her spare time she loves to read, go for walks, listen to music, garden, watch wildlife, explore the coast and countryside, write and attempt the odd sketch. "Rosie and the Secret of Snogard" is her first novel. Its landscape was strongly influenced by that of Orkney, the Inner Hebrides and Shetland.
