Lisa Glass

Lisa Glass has always lived a stone’s throw from the sea, moving from Plymouth to Swansea – where she studied for her Master’s Degree in Creative Writing – and finally to Newquay in Cornwall. In her spare time Lisa enjoys surfing, although she is not very good at it and does not at all resemble the surfer in the picture. Lisa also likes other things like practising beach yoga with a group of female surfers, running along a headland with a stunning view of the ocean and organising beach clean-ups, but mostly she likes to chill out with her family.

Apart from writing surf chick mysteries for young adults and knocking about on the beaches of Newquay, Lisa reviews fiction and helps to run top U.K. book blog Vulpes Libris, which has reviewed over a thousand books and had almost a million visits. Lisa’s first novel – a gritty literary thriller – was published by Two Ravens Press in 2007 and was described in the Guardian as having ‘razor-sharp characterisation’ and ‘a cracking finish’.

In 2009 Lisa was awarded a £5000 Arts Council bursary to support the writing of God Hates This Place.

Lisa lives with her husband and daughter, along with their two cats and their sprollie dog Digger.
