Copperthwaite, Barbara

The complexity of the humans behind crime, from perpetrator to the victim and beyond, are what intrigue Barbara Copperthwaite.

She was raised by the sea and in the countryside, where she became a lover of both nature and the written word - the latter leading to a successful career as a journalist. For over twenty years people have kindly and bravely shared with her their real experiences of being victims of crime. Now, through fiction, Barbara continues to explore the emotional repercussions. 

When not writing feverishly, she is often found hiding behind a camera, taking wildlife photographs.
