S. J. Bolton - About the Author

Sharon J Bolton was born and brought up in Lancashire, the eldest of three daughters.  As a child, she dreamed of becoming an actress and a dancer, studying ballet, tap and jazz from a young age and reading drama at Loughborough University. 

She spent her early career in marketing and PR before returning to full-time education to study for a Masters in Business Administration (MBA) at Warwick University, where she met her husband, Andrew.   They moved to London and Sharon held a number of PR posts in the City, including working at The British Insurance and Investment Brokers Association, The Solicitors Indemnity Fund and (as a temporary contract) National Savings.  She left the City to work freelance, to start a family and to write. 

She and Andrew now live in a village in the Chiltern Hills, not far from Oxford, with their son and the latest addition to the family: Lupe, the lop-eared lurcher.  Her daily life revolves around the school run, walking the dog and those ever-looming publishing deadlines.
