Celina Alcock is somewhere in her thirties and lives in South London. By day, she's a mild mannered (and bored) personal assistant, by night she wrestles with her muse armed only with cups of hot coffee and the odd glass of chardonnay. After six years in Australia she turned her back on all that sunny frivolity and re-embraced London life in 2003. A finalist in both the Lit Idol and the Debut Dagger competitions, she is now working on her fourth novel and dreams of becoming the next literary sensation or at least of earning enough money to stand her round.
