Hello and thank you very much for visiting my author page!
I'm the author of "The Favour", which I like to think of as 'gilded youth noir ' - i.e. it's about bright young things behaving very badly! It's inspired by the gorgeousness of Italy but also Wales: I grew up on the edges of the Brecon Beacons, which has given me a life-long love of wild landscapes and ancient myths. As a teenager, I studied Art History in Italy, then Classics at Bristol and Oxford. After five years working in publishing I left to focus on my own writing career, publishing eleven books for children and teenagers under the name Laura Powell. "The Favour" is my first novel for adults and although the murder and mystery aspect is obviously not autobiographical, some of the art history course hi-jinks just *might* be... I live in South London with my husband and two young children, and escape to Wales as often as I can.
