About Professor Stimson

I was born in Surrey, in the south of England, and read English at Oxford University. Upon graduating I joined ITN as a news producer. I reported and produced regional and world stories, traveling to hotspots and war zones all over the globe, before leaving bullets behind to become a full-time writer. Since then, I’ve written more than a dozen novels, numerous short stories, and two non-fiction books, which have been published internationally and translated into more than twenty languages.

In recent years, I’ve moved away from writing women’s fiction and toward darker psychological thrillers. As well as writing fiction I continue to work as a journalist and teach reporting for media and creative writing at Saint Michael’s College.

I live in Waterbury, Vermont with my husband, and am visited intermittently by my three grown-up children whenever they need their laundry done.
