Lulu Taylor moved around the world as a child before her family settled in the Oxfordshire countryside. She studied English at Oxford University and had a successful career in publishing before becoming a writer herself – her first novel, Heiresses, was nominated for the RNA Readers’ Choice award. Lulu has since written a succession of gothic, mysterious novels, including The Snow Angel, Her Frozen Heart, and the bestselling The Winter Children. She lives in Dorset with her husband and two children.
