Nina Harrington grew up in rural Northumberland, England and decided, aged eleven, that she was going to be a librarian, because then she could read all of the books in the public library whenever she wanted!
Since then she has been a shop assistant, community pharmacist, technical writer, university lecturer, volcano walker, and industrial scientist, before taking a career break to realise her dream of being a fiction writer.
When she is not creating stories that make her readers smile, her hobbies are cooking, eating, enjoying good wine, and talking, for which she has had specialist training.
