Nicola Penfold was born in Billinge and grew up in Doncaster. She studied English at Cambridge University. Nicola has worked in a reference library and for a health charity, but being a writer was always the job she wanted most. She is the author of Beyond the Frozen Horizon, Between Sea and Sky, When the Wild Calls and Where the World Turns Wild, which was chosen as a Future Classic for the BookTrust School Library Pack. Nicola writes in the coffee shops and green spaces of North London, where she lives with her husband, four children and three cats, and escapes when she can to wilder corners of the UK for adventures.
