Bridget Blankley spent most of her early life in Nigeria. She
worked as an engineer, educator, and full-time carer before
coming late to writing; her first piece of fiction was published in
her early 50s. Her fiction, however, has since gone on to win
several prizes including 2013 Winchester Writing Can be Murder
and Commonword Children's Writing Competition 2016. In the
same year, she was runner up for the Thomas Gray Anniversary
Poetry Competition as well as runner up for the 2017 Alpine
Fellowship Writing Prize.
