Lucy Courtenay has officially been writing children's fiction since 1999, and unofficially for a lot longer than that. Her desk drawers are full of half-finished stories waiting for the right moment to emerge and dance around her study in a shower of exuberant paperclips. Her books are published by Hachette Children's Group and indulge her love of teenage romance: The Kiss (2015), Movie Night (2018) and Girl at Sea (2018).
