About us - Luisa

I am Teen Chick Lit Girl, um, Woman. I started reading young women's YA fiction way before I was a teenager and I realised in my twenties that I was never going to stop. My dusty Francine Pascal and Judy Blume collection has grown via Katherine Applegate and Mary Hooper to Jaclyn Moriarty, Sarra Manning, Megan McCafferty and the goddess of Teen Chick Lit herself, Meg Cabot. I love books by these authors and other favourites, including Dyan Sheldon, Rachel Vail and E. Lockhart.

As a teenager, I wrote love stories and photo stories, some of which were published in my favourite magazines. [MID-SHOT OF SHOCKED SUE, POINTING AT BILL. BUBBLE READS: "You two-timing rat!"]

I've never stopped wanting to be a writer, although real life tries to get in the way. I've worked as a dictionary editor, proofreader and subtitler and I now work in linguistic software development. I also have two young children, a boy and a girl.

My first novel, SPLIT BY A KISS is published by Random House and is available here as well as lots of other good bookshops.

And I have a website, too.
