Imogen Howson

As a child, She loved reading so much that she not only read in bed, at the table and in the bath, but in the shower and not so successfully on her bicycle.

She enjoyed books in a slightly unorthodox way, too many of her childhood books have ragged edges where she tore paper from the margins in order to eat it.

She wrote her first book at eight. It was entitled The Dragon in the Teapot and would probably have been a huge hit if she hadnt lost the only copy on a family day out.

Some years later, armed with several different types of backups, she's busy writing romantic science fiction and fantasy for young adults and adults.

She lives with her partner, their two teenage daughters, and three cats, near Sherwood Forest in England. She still reads in most places, but  no longer eats paper.
