Mara Timon

Mara Timon was raised in New York and moved to the UK almost 20 years ago, and fell in love with London and the way it melds the old and the new. Growing up with one parent fascinated with literature and the other with history, she started writing from an early age, although it wasn't until a program on the BBC caught her interest and one "what if" led to another, that her first book began to take shape.
