About the Author

Maria Frankland lives in Yorkshire, home of Yorkshire puddings, Yorkie Bars and Yorkshire tea – incidentally three of her favourite things.

When not eating or drinking these items, she can be found dreaming up and executing the darkest of psychological thrillers.

With nineteen full-length novels, two novellas, a memoir and two poetry collections under her belt, she is living out her childhood dream of being able to write full-time.

Maria has a teaching degree and an MA in creative writing. She is published by both London-based publisher, Bookouture, and also independently, through her own publishing company, Autonomy Press.

She lives and breathes reading and writing and is always thrilled to be able to offer a helping hand to other writers as they head towards their own success.
