Janet Gover grew up in outback Australia, surrounded by wide open spaces, horses ... and many, many books. She is a self-confessed 'bit of a geek girl'. When not writing novels she works in IT-in really dull places like Pinewood Movie Studios, Puerto Rico and Iraq. When her cat lets her actually sit in her chair, she writes stories of strong women, rural communities and falling in love. Her novel Little Girl Lost won the Epic Romantic Novel of the Year Award presented by the Romantic Novelists' Association in the UK, and she has won or been shortlisted for awards in Australia and the USA. As Juliet Bell, in collaboration with Alison May, she rewrites misunderstood classic fiction, with an emphasis on heroes who are not so heroic. Her favourite food is tomato. She spends too much time playing silly computer games, and is an enthusiastic, if not always successful, cook. Janet loves to hear from readers-so do drop her a line. http://janetgover.com/ www.facebook.com/janetgoverbooks/ Twitter: @janet_gover
