Liz Miles’ interest in London began with family day-trips to tourist hotspots like the British Museum and the Tower of London. Later, inspired by Charles Dickens’ classics and Samuel Pepys’ diary, she began to research more about life in London’s past, and soon discovered countless mysteries and fascinating, unanswered questions.
Encouraged by Molly, her inspirational English teacher, and school trips to indoor and outdoor theatres, Liz Miles began writing stories from an early age. Now an experienced author of non-fiction and fiction, with over 80 published titles, she lives in Cornwall, mulling over new ideas on long cliff-top walks, and researching facts in libraries and museums.
