Wendy Holden is an experienced author with fifteen books already to her credit. A journalist for eighteen years, the last ten of which were spent writing for the London Daily Telegraph, she has covered news events at home and abroad, including the Gulf War, the Iran/Iraq War, conflicts in the Middle East and Northern Ireland. Her ghosted autobiographies, ten to date, chronicle the lives of extraordinary people, from Goldie Hawn to the only woman in the French Foreign Legion during WWII, from a young Jewish woman who crossed German lines as a spy, to a British mother whose daughter was killed in the war in the Sudan. Other works have included the novelisations The Full Monty and Waking Ned, plus Shell Shock, an investigation into the trauma of conflict. Her first novel, The Sense of Paper, is to be published in America next year. She lives in Suffolk, England, with her husband and four dogs.
