Elizabeth Diamond

Elizabeth Diamond spent many years writing poetry and working, amongst other things, as a home help, a shop assistant, a typist, and a special needs teacher, and dreaming of being a published author, until a chance place on a writers' development award, followed by an arts council grant, gave her the time to write her first novel – just to see ‘if she could’. The result was her debut novel, An Accidental Light. She lives in Devon, has two grown sons and three granddaughters.
