Mandy robotham author biography

If I wasn’t an author, I’d be a:

I was a birth-centre midwife for twenty years, and I've only just left to write full-time. But I have always had an inkling to work in a mortuary - fascinated with the processes that go on after life. Luckily, I'm not squeamish. It's not unusual for retired midwives to go into end of life care, either, something about both the beginning and the end being important.

Favorite decade in fashion history:

The 's. I would have loved to been a young woman then - the colours, the shapes and the total abandon of anything conservative. Nothing was out of bounds. Mary Quant is among my heroes.

Place I’d most like to travel:

Venice - always. But aside from that, to explore more of Denmark in a camper van. I adore Copenhagen as a city and I'd love to go further afield.

My signature drink:

Hot - flat white. Cold - a good Margarita with a salt rim can turn any bad day into a good one.

Favorite artist:

Pablo Picasso - a genius. Can I have two? In which case, it's Hockney.

Number one on my bucket list:

Well, it was to have a book published. So now I suppose it's to spend a month in New York, walking the city endlessly and visiting the best coffee shops and museums/art galleries.

Anything else you'd like to add:
