Cressy was born in South East London surrounded by books and with a cat named after Lawrence of Arabia. She studied English at the University of East Anglia and now lives in Norwich with her husband David. Cressys favourite things include terrifying ghost stories, lava lamps and romantic heroes, though not necessarily at the same time. She doesnt (yet) have a dog of her own, but feeds her love vicariously through friends pets, and was once chased around a field by a soaking wet, very mischievous Border Collie called Wags. When she isnt writing, Cressy spends her spare time reading, returning to London or exploring the beautiful Norfolk coastline.
