GILL TAVNER was an English Teacher and Head of Department before turning to writing when she had young children of her own. She has also taught English in South East Asia, worked as a personal trainer, been a management trainee in an insurance company, led treks in Africa, run her own business and painted fake tattoos on Blackpool Pleasure Beach. Perhaps it is this variety that makes her such a versatile writer. Emily Bronte (1818-48) is perhaps best known for her one, strikingly innovative novel but was also a gifted and intense poet.

Other works include "Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" and "Kidnapped".
