She has since written acclaimed novels in such diverse genres as fantasy based on Norse myth (<i>Runemarks</i>,<i>Runelight</i>,<i>The Gospel of Loki</i>), and the Malbry cycle of dark psychological thrillers (<i>Gentlemen&Players</i>,<i>Blueeyedboy</i>, and now<i>Different Class)</i>.</p><p>Born in Barnsley, of an English father and a French mother, she spent fifteen years as a teacher before (somewhat reluctantly) becoming a full-time writer.
