Louise Fitzhugh (1928-1974) was born in Memphis, Tennessee and published `Harriet the Spy', her first novel, to mixed reviews in 1964, but it has since been recognised as a children's classic. `The Long Secret' followed in 1965 and `Sport' was published posthumously in 1979. Maya Gold is the author of the middle-grade series Cinderella Cleaners. She writes books for adults under a different name. Her eyes are a mix of hazel and gray, and though some of her ancestors come from New England, she doesn't think they were witches. She lives in upstate New York with her daughter.
