Award-winning journalist Faith Eckersall enjoyed 25 years as a regional news reporter, before going freelance. Along with fiction, she now writes for publications including the Daily Telegraph, Country Living and Waitrose Weekend. In 2015 she gained her MA in Creative Writing: The Novel, supervised by Bernardine Evaristo OBE, and in 2018 won the Grazia Women’s Prize for Fiction First Chapter Award.
She wrote THE BODY ON THE ROUNDABOUT after accidentally leaving journalism for a job in PR and – missing her newsroom – decided to create one of her own. When she’s not writing she can be found lurking in museums and art galleries, eating Fruit & Nut chocolate and purchasing criminal amounts of skin cream and Penelope Chilvers boots.
