| First
of all, a confession. My name isn’t Lucy Diamond at all, it’s
actually Sue Mongredien, but as I’ve written a number of children’s
books under my own name, I didn’t want there to be any confusion
between the two, which is why I took a pen name. (There is actually
a Lucy Diamond on Amazon who’s written a lot of religious
children’s books. That isn’t me though.)
I was born in 1970 and grew up in Nottingham. I read English at Leeds University then moved to London and worked for various publishers before I packed it all in to go travelling around the world for a year and a half. When I came back to the UK, I worked in publishing again, then moved to the BBC. I now live in Brighton with my partner and three young children and divide my time between writing and looking after them. You can have a look at my children’s books here. Favourite things: beaches, holidays, chocolate, wine, reading, Green Wing, bubble baths, sunshine, hearing my children laugh, babysitters Favourite
books: The Magus (John Fowles), The Edible Woman (Margaret Atwood),
The Secret History (Donna Tartt), The Colour of Memory (Geoff Dyer) |
