Emylia hall biography sample

          Emylia Hall lives in Bristol with her husband and son, where she writes from a hut in the garden and dreams of the sea.!

          I was born in 1978 and grew up in the Devon countryside, the daughter of an English artist and a Hungarian quilt-maker.

           After studying English & Related Literature at the universities of York and Lausanne, I spent five years working in a London ad agency, before moving to the French Alps.

          Emylia has published four previous novels, including Richard and Judy Book Club pick The Book of Summers and The Thousand Lights Hotel.

        1. Explore your motherhood!
        2. Emylia Hall lives in Bristol with her husband and son, where she writes from a hut in the garden and dreams of the sea.
        3. Emylia Hall's cosy crime series, THE SHELL HOUSE DETECTIVES.
        4. I would also recommend a newer book called The Shell House Detectives by Emylia Hall that has a seaside setting as well.

          5.  It was there that I began to write.  I now live in Bristol with my husband, who is also an author.  Chosen by ELLE as one of the most anticipated debut novelists of 2012, I was also one of three writers to appear in the Red Pages Hot 100.

           The Book of Summers is my first novel and is inspired by childhood holidays spent in rural Hungary.  The Book of Summers is published by Headline in the UK (where it's a Richard and Judy Summer Book Club pick), MIRA in the US, and will be translated into eight languages.

          I'm currently at work on my second which is due for publication in 2013.
