Adopted from birth, Pam Weaver trained as a nursery nurse working in children's homes, premature baby units, day nurseries, and at one time she was a Hyde Park nanny. Her first novel, A Mother's Gift (previously published as There's Always Tomorrow) was the winner in the Day for Writers' Novel Opening Competition and was bought by Avon. The inspiration for Pam's novels comes from her love of people and their stories and her passion for the town of Worthing.
Kitty Neale was raised in South London and this working class area became the inspiration for her novels.
In the 1980s she moved to Surrey with her husband and two children, but in 1998 there was a catalyst in her life when her son died, aged just 27. After joining other bereaved parents in a support group, Kitty was inspired to take up writing and her books have been Sunday Times bestsellers. Kitty now lives in Spain with her husband.
