Gill Arbuthnott, Author

Gill Arbuthnott, author of The Keepers’ Daughter, had been writing secretly since she was ten, and only admitted this to her somewhat surprised family when her first book was accepted by a publisher. Her ideas come from all sorts of unlikely places - the inspiration for The Keepers' Daughter came from several conversations Gill overheard while travelling on buses! Actually, the conversation in which a girl said, 'The Shadowmen are coming for me', was probably (hopefully) mis-heard. Gill lives in Edinburgh with her family and teaches Biology when she isn't writing.
