Amelia Thornton

These days, I write mysteries from my flat in Bloomsbury (yes, very on-brand for a writer, I know). My partner James restores old buildings for a living, which means our dinner conversations usually revolve around things like "historically accurate window frames" and "the proper way to restore Victorian tiles." We're probably the only people you know who plan our vacations around visiting creepy old houses and poking around in dusty archives.

Our dog Wilkie (total dachshund attitude, named after the author of "The Woman in White" because I'm that kind of nerd) supervises my writing process from his spot on the couch.
