Elenor Gill

Early in life I developed an interest and dedication to matters of the occult and the paranormal. Along with my professional interest in psychiatry, parapsychology has inspired the subject matter for my creative writing.
Born in England, I lived for many years in Cambridge where I worked as an occupational therapist in remedial psychiatry. My work was concerned with the rehabilitation of long term patients. Alongside both individual and group counselling and the nurturing of practical living skills, this involved a variety of creative therapies, such as drama, music and art. This allowed me to develop the use of creative writing as a therapeutic tool in the treatment of mental illness, which in turn gave me the opportunity to explore my own

Corina Bomann

Corina Bomann, 1974 in Parchim geboren, entdeckte die Welt der Bücher schon recht früh für sich. Als Kind verzierte sie die Exemplare der heimischen Bibliothek mit eigenen "Wachsstift-Illustrationen", später, als sie das Schreiben erlernt hatte, begann sie, eigene kleine Geschichten zu verfassen. Langeweile in Schule und Bus füllte sie mit viel Fantasie aus, sodass aus kleinen Geschichten bald ganze Romane wurden, die zunächst mehrere Kladdehefte füllten. Die Hefte und eine alte Schreibmaschine wichen nach und nach dem Computer; ihre Geschichten entstiegen den Schubladen und fanden ihre Heimat bei Verlagen. Noch heute lebt Corina Bomann in Mecklenburg und nutzt die traumhafte Ruhe und wunderbare Landschaft, um ihre Romane zu spinnen. In ihr

*Breaking News* Richard & Judy pick THE TEA PLANTERS WIFE for their autumn bookclub 2015. Here's what Santa Montefiore said: ‘My ideal read; mystery, love, heart-break and joy – I couldn’t put it down.’

Here's what Richard Madeley said. "The Tea Planter’s Wife is so much more than a conventional love story, with all its twists and turns and guilt and betrayal...deeply impressive. The fetid, steamy atmosphere of the tropics rises from these pages like a humid mist. We are on a tea plantation in 1920s Ceylon and 19 year old Gwendolyn Hooper is the new bride of the owner, a wealthy and charming widower. But her romantic dreams of marriage are overshadowed by echoes from the past – an old trunk of musty dresses; an overgrown and neglected grave

Corina Bomann

Corina Bomann, 1974 in Parchim geboren, entdeckte die Welt der Bücher schon recht früh für sich. Als Kind verzierte sie die Exemplare der heimischen Bibliothek mit eigenen "Wachsstift-Illustrationen", später, als sie das Schreiben erlernt hatte, begann sie, eigene kleine Geschichten zu verfassen. Langeweile in Schule und Bus füllte sie mit viel Fantasie aus, sodass aus kleinen Geschichten bald ganze Romane wurden, die zunächst mehrere Kladdehefte füllten. Die Hefte und eine alte Schreibmaschine wichen nach und nach dem Computer; ihre Geschichten entstiegen den Schubladen und fanden ihre Heimat bei Verlagen. Noch heute lebt Corina Bomann in Mecklenburg und nutzt die traumhafte Ruhe und wunderbare Landschaft, um ihre Romane zu spinnen. In ihr

My latest non-fiction book is 'The Dressmakers of Auschwitz', revealing the lives and fates of a remarkable group of mainly Jewish women who sewed to survive in a fashion salon established by the camp commandant's wife. It has been a privilege to bring these stories into the light.
