Pippa Brush Chappell studied English Literature at university for the best part of ten years. She then went on to lecture in English and Women’s Studies at universities and colleges in Canada and the USA, trading shamelessly on her British accent. Back in the UK, she wrestled with teaching secondary school English until finally, thankfully, realising the error of her ways. She then spent five years working for a charity and trying to write short fiction. She is currently tutoring, blogging and trying to get that first draft finished so she can finally claim to have written a novel.
