Nikola Scott

Nikola Scott was born and raised in Germany and studied at university there. Having been obsessed with books from a young age, Nikola moved to New York City to begin her first job in book publishing -- a career in which she could fully indulge her love of fiction. She spent ten years working in publishing in New York and then in London, editing other people's books, before she decided to take the leap into becoming a full-time writer herself. She now lives in Frankfurt with her husband and two sons.

Her novels My Mother's Shadow, Summer of Secrets and The Orchard Girls have all been international bestsellers and were translated widely around the world. Her new novel, The Life I Stole, is out now.
