United KingdomBiography
Growing up in the UK - in Orpington, Kent - my hobbies were drawing and writing ‘books’. School and I didn’t get on and, as soon as I was able to, I left and went on to Art College. I originally worked as an illustrator, in advertising. I only began writing again, with the serious intention of being published, when I was married and at home with my young son.
I write contemporary romantic fiction with an edge, or ‘Reality Romance’. My first two novels - Just Before Dawn and Desires & Dreams - were ‘mainstream’ published, but these days I publish independently. I have two novels - TORN and LIFE CLASS - currently available as e-books and in paperback. FLY OR FALL is coming soon.
I now live in a village, at the head of a beautiful valley in the Cotswold Hills, in Gloucestershire. Still a keen artist I draw and paint, design Christmas cards, accept illustration commissions and regularly attend a weekly art class. I’ve been a school governor, a contributor to local newspapers and was one of the initiators of the successful community shop in my village.
Books by Gilli Allan
TORN - You can escape your past but can you ever escape yourself? TORN is a contemporary story, which faces up to the complexities, messiness and absurdities in modern relationships. Life is not a fairy tale; it can be confusing and difficult. Sex is not always awesome; it can be awkward and embarrassing, and it has consequences.
