Roxie Key
I'm a crime thriller author from Northampton, where I live with my wife Laura and daughter Hallie.
I've always been a writer... although the stories I wrote as a child about my pets will never see the light of day, I knew from a young age that one day I wanted to see my name on a book cover. I studied Creative & Media Writing at Middlesex University and then went on to become a copywriter for a global brand.
When I'm not writing (or mumming!), I can usually be found reading, painting, gaming or playing the bass guitar.

As a result, I had an internal defibrillator implanted in me, and I had to retire from the police aged 30.
One door closed, but another opened, and my wife and I bought a coffee shop in Ramsgate Harbour. We spent eight of the happiest years of our lives there but, when the kiddies came along, it just wasn’t sustai -
