After a spectacularly mediocre (but tremendously enjoyable) time as a student at Edinburgh University, Charlie James graduated and found a job in publishing. This was in spite of having to leave her interview early in order to go on a skiing trip. She then pursued a career as a children’s book editor in London where she worked for Reed International, Salamander Press and Canongate. She now lives in Edinburgh with her husband, two children and a disobedient dog and spends her time supervising the washing machine and trying to invent the world‘s first self–cleaning house and weed-free garden. Her first novel, Fish, was published by Bloomsbury in 2006.
