Kirsty Dougal

Kirsten Hesketh as a background in advertising and now runs her own consultancy specialising in psychological interviewing and focus groups. Over the past 25 years, she has interviewed the Great British public on everything from Rolos to razors.

Married with a teenage son, daughter and two exceptionally fluffy moggies, Kirsten is also a keen amateur archaeologist and loves to spend her weekends hacking through the mud on a local Roman dig. She is also a staunch supporter of Wycombe Wanderers - especially when they are winning!

Kirsten also writes as Poppy Cooper. Her debut saga, The Post Office Girls, was published by Hodder & Stoughton in May 2021 and is based on the lives and loves of the girls who worked the the Army Post Office's Home Depot on Regent's Park in WW1.
