Lexie Elliott has been writing for as long as she can remember, but she began to focus on it more seriously after she lost her banking job in 2009 due to the Global Financial Crisis. After some success in short story competitions, she began planning a novel. With two kids and a (new) job, it took some time for that novel to move from her head to the page, but the result was "The French Girl", which will be published by Berkley in February 2018 - available to pre-order now!

When she's not writing, Lexie can be found running, swimming or cycling whilst thinking about writing. In 2007 she swam the English Channel solo. She won't be doing that again. In 2015 she ran 100km, raising money for Alzheimer Scotland. She won't be doing that again eithe ...more

Then write, and do it professionally: schedule it into your life, don't wait for inspiration to strike. Modern life is busy, it will always get in the way if you let it; if you're really serious about writing, you have to ring-fence that time.(less)

If you could travel to any fictional book world, where would you go and what would you do there?

Whilst there are so many different books I have loved immersing myself in, if I'm getting a free passport to another universe I'm going to choose somewhere where I can see things and do things that are very different to my present reality. When I was in my early teens I adored Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern series, so I would choose to go to Pern. After all, who wouldn't want to see another planet and ride a dragon?!(less)

Quotes by Lexie Elliott (?)

“Platitudes, both his words and mine, and we both know it --- the reckoning is yet to come. But in the meantime we're operating on a surface level of civility that's nothing short of excruciating.”
― Lexie Elliott, How to Kill Your Best Friend

“Writing a second book is not like writing the first. I don't mean that every book is different, though of course there's an element of that. The crucial difference is that when you write your first book, you don't have a publisher, which means you don't have a deadline. Deadlines-well. Deadlines put a whole new spin on this writing lark.”

“Which I suppose it should be; if you're going to kill someone, you shouldn't be insulating yourself from the process. That was always my objection to the use of drones: warfare ought to be immediate; it ought to be bloody, to be close combat. You should be forced to witness, to feel, each and every impact. You shouldn't be allowed to put it at arm's length.”
