Georgina Clarke

Georgina Clarke has always been passionate about stories and history. The Lizzie Hardwicke novels give her the opportunity to bring to life her love of the eighteenth century and press her determination that strong, intelligent and unconventional women should get to solve the crimes rather than be cast in the role of the side-kick. The Dazzle of the Light - a standalone novel - was inspired by the exploits of the real life female crime syndicate, known as the Forty Thieves.

Georgina was born in Wolverhampton but now lives in Worcester with her husband and son and two lively cats.
