Linda Green

Linda Green is the bestselling author of eleven novels, which have sold more than 1.4 million copies in the UK, with foreign rights sold in 15 territories. Her new novel In Little Stars is out in ebook and audiobook from Quercus Books. The hardback will be published on February 2 and the paperback in August 2023. Her previous novel, One Moment, was a Radio 2 Book Club pick, and her ninth novel, The Last Thing She Told Me was a Richard and Judy Book Club selection.

She wrote her first novella at the age of nine, but unfortunately, the pony-based time-travel thriller genre never took off. She wrote her first novel twenty years later and persevered through 102 rejections from agents, before getting her first book deal. Linda is also an award-winning journalist who has written for The Guardian and The Big Issue, and a creative writing tutor, working with students aged from eight to eighty-four.

Linda retains a keen interest in news, current affairs and politics. She has appeared on Newsnight, Radio 5 Live, Radio Four's Woman's Hour and BBC News. She particularly enjoyed taking former PM David Cameron to task on Leadership Question Time in 2015.

In a previous life, Linda enjoyed travelling and has trekked through the Bornean jungle to see wild orangutans, travelled to the edge of the Arctic Circle to watch polar bears, and as far south as Tierra del Fuego to photograph penguins.

She lives in West Yorkshire with her husband, teenage son, cat Hugo and two rescue guinea pigs.
