That is where she raised her two now grown children. Her daughter blessed her with a granddaughter three years ago. These two children brought issues in to her life while they were in their teens, sparking her to begin writing Teen Contemporary. This was how the Wings from Ashes series came about.

Passionate about books from a very young age, Lillian's mother discovered her preschool daughter could read when she found her reading aloud to her baby sister. With a penchant for telling stories, Lillian put her own flair into childhood games. Instead of playing house, her dolls had murder mysteries. Instead of playing tag, she created elaborate plots for the neighborhood kids to enact, including space travel, entire societies of fictitious creatures, and post apocalyptic scenarios. Her first book was written in the first grade, a tale of a skunk named "Skunky", and she hasn't stopped writing since. Constance wrote her first book at the age of five. Written in crayon and bound together with string, it was most certainly not a best seller! It was, though, the start of a lifelong love of the written word. These days, Constance spends some of her time at her perfectly normal day job on the English coast and the rest of her time exploring the mountains of her mind. The view is quite excellent in both places. She has found that writing is a constant battle between herself and her cat as to who gets use of the keyboard. Apparently it makes a very comfortable bed.

40. Cutting Right to the Chase - I write crime novels and detective stories because I'm a snooper. I always have been, ever since I was a kid. I'm from Sardinia and currently living in London, a city I really love. The only things I miss about Italy are my little dog and the bidet. Nothing else, as I'm able to prepare an outstanding pizza by myself... so problem solved! The crime stories I write are in English because my main character, Chase Williams, is British, so I can't really do otherwise! My main crime fiction benchmarks are Agatha Christie and George Simenon. I know, I know, they're old style and died ages ago, but what am I supposed to say? I've grown up reading them and always dreamt of joining the glorious Detection Club! Two big passions rule my life: sports and reading. I consider myself lucky because I need only a laptop, a Kindle and a road to run along to be happy. However, it's much better if there's also some good music! I have a blog (and a fancy newsletter!) called Daily Pinner and I post about a number of different topics: I love telling stories about things that have happened to me or what I see everyday on the streets or come across online. I'm also a Huffington Post Uk blogger and the OnRugby.it community manager, and I really enjoy it. I have a Master's in Sociology, after all.
