Author Bio
Emma Tallon is a British author of gripping, gritty, organised-crime thrillers and mother of two. Having started her writing career as a freelance ghostwriter, Emma finished her first novel, Runaway Girl, in 2016, and became an author full time. Since then, she has written several other novels for her publisher and has carved out a successful career for herself from her home in Milton Keynes, where she can usually be found typing away in her office surrounded by large stacks of books and Post-it Notes full of ideas for future stories. I have a few more books planned for the next month, but would love your ideas of what to read next. You know me, I can always be found with my head in a book (or kindle). Thanks for reading Kerry
