Imogen MartinImogen writes sweeping, historical fiction set in the US. As a teenager she took the Greyhound bus from San Francisco to New York. Over those three days of staring out of the window at the majestic mountains and endless flat plains, stories wound theselves into her head: tales of brooding, charismatic men captivated by independent young women. Since then, Imogen has worked in a coffee-shop in Piccadilly, a famous bookshop and a children's home. She has run festivals and turned a derelict housing block on one of the poorest estates in the UK into an award-winning arts centre.

Married with two daughters, Imogen divides her time between Wales and Sardinia. Read More Read Less
