Catherine O’Flynn
Catherine O’Flynn was born in Birmingham in 1970, where she grew up in and around her parents’ sweet shop. She has been a teacher, web editor, mystery customer and postwoman - and her first novel draws on her experience of working in record stores. (As the Literary Review observes, ‘O’Flynn is just the colleague you’d want to be stuck with in a dead-end job.’). After a few years in Barcelona, she now lives in Birmingham.
