Chris Higgins

Chris Higgins has four daughters and is rapidly acquiring a whole bunch of grandchildren even though she feels far too young to be a granny. She lives in the far west of Cornwall with her husband.

Before writing her first novel, "32C, That's Me", Chris taught English and Drama for many years in secondary schools. She also worked at the Minack, the open-air theatre on the cliffs near Lands End, but now writes full-time.

Chris loves to travel when she gets the chance and has lived and worked in Australia as well as hitchhiking to Istanbul and across the Serengeti Plain.

Her novels deal with issues that every teenager can identify with. She has also written two series for younger readers. Chris has won a number of awards including Young Minds, the Lancashire Book Award, the Lincolnshire Young People's Book Award, the KYBA, and she has been shortlisted twice for Queen of Teen.
