Jacky Rom grew up in Romford, Essex; where she trained as a Hairdresser and Makeup Artiste and tried to fulfil one of her very first dreams of becoming a Director.
When she was sixteen, she was told by her Careers Advisor at school that she would never get into the London Col-lege of Fashion, let alone realise any of her ambitions. That was all the incen-tive she needed: now she had to prove them wrong.
Jacky did get into the London College of Fashion, and she to became a Dra-ma teacher. She wrote her first play when she was only 17 and has gone on to write and direct many plays over the years. She spent many years in TV and film studios with her own up and com-ing actors and it was in this environ-ment that she came up with `Starr' and started to write the eleven year old sleuth's thrilling adventures!
Jacky now travels around the world, teaching creative writing and giving talks to all ages about the world of En-tertainment and Writing.
