A.A. Abbott

Who doesn’t love a page-turner packed with mystery, twists and suspense? Those are the books I yearn to read, and I enjoy writing them, too. I’m British thriller writer A.A. Abbott – known to friends as Helen – and I believe a good read is one of life’s greatest pleasures. As a city girl, I've lived and worked in London, Bristol and Birmingham, so it’s no surprise that my books are often set there.

Like 10% of us, many of my family are dyslexic. While I'm not, I want my books to be enjoyed by readers with dyslexia and visual impairment too. That's why I publish my thrillers in a LARGE PRINT dyslexia-friendly edition as well as the standard paperback and ebook versions. Don't forget, when you’re reading an ebook, you can adjust the font on yo

I was born in 1973 in Peterborough and lived there until I was 20, attending The King's School in the city. I then began a rather nomadic existence, living and working all over the country and various parts of the world.

Sue Clark

In a varied writing career, Sue Clark has penned BBC radio and TV comedy scripts for the likes of David Jason, Lenny Henry and Tracey Ullman, as well as contributing to newspapers, magazines, trade journals and guidebooks, as a journalist, copywriter, PR and editor.

She brings this comic touch to her short story, On The Brushes, in this exciting new anthology, Taking Liberties.
