C.J. Skuse was born in 1980 in Weston-super-Mare, England. She has first-class degrees in Creative Writing and Writing for Children and, aside from writing novels, works as a freelance children's fiction consultant and lectures in Writing for Children at Bath Spa University. C.J. loves: Masterchef, Gummy Bears and murder sites. She hates: carnivals, hard-boiled eggs and coughing.
The movies Titanic, My Best Friend's Wedding and Ruby Sparks were all probably based on her ideas; she just didn't get to write them down in time. Before she dies, she would like to go to Japan, try clay-pigeon shooting and have Ryan Gosling present her with the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay.

C J Skuse recommends
The Love Interest (2024)
Helen Comerford
"I love this book! So original and witty and such assured writing that crackles as much as it shines. The characters are super in more ways than one. Helen Comerford is a writer to watch."
Deadly Animals (2024)
Marie Tierney
"Gloriously dark, deadly and deathly . . . Gobbled it up - and it was absolutely delicious."
All About Us (2020)
Tom Ellen
"A magical, compelling and thought-provoking story, full of depth and heart. The perfect holiday read."
