Biography


Born in London, 1969, she grew up on the edge of Epping Forest. She originally read English at the University of Cambridge.[6] She then joined the Foreign Office and worked in Poland.[7] Her work as a diplomat took her many places including the Tatra Mountains and the bottom of a Silesian coal mine.[8]

Upon leaving Poland, she turned her attention to academic studies and took a doctorate in English Romantic Period literature at Oxford University.[6][7] She then worked for Oxfam as a lobbyist on conflict issues, campaigning at the United Nations and with governments to lessen the impact of conflict on civilians living in war zones.[7][8]

Golding lives in Oxford and works as a freelance writer. She is married with three children.[9] The Diamond of Drury Lane is her first novel, the first of the Cat Royal series.

In 2007 Waterstones selected her as one of 25 Authors of the Future.[10]
