Tia Brown

Tia Brown began writing cosy fiction by accident when she joined a 'Writing for Pleasure and Profit' evening class after the class she’d planned to join didn't run because not enough people signed up. One of the assignments was to write a short story for a woman's magazine so she did her homework because that’s the sort of person she is. The next week's session was on how to send it to an editor. She did that too, and much to her surprise, they bought it, so she wrote some more

Over the next decade, she sold over six hundred short stories to magazines including Bella, Best, Chat, My Weekly, People's Friend Take a Break and That's Life. Then the market gradually diminished and life sent her down a different path, and her dream of writing mysteries and romances got put on hold.

Now she's back on track, armed with what she's learned from being a carer. She now knows that you can find happiness in small things and unexpected places, and that life is precious and sometimes too short, so you need to follow your heart.

She also writes sexier and slightly more violent romantic suspense and urban fantasy as Eleanor Neville, but likes to keep the brands separate so that anyone buying a ‘Tia Brown’ book knows that they’ll have a happy, gentle read. Whatever she writes, she firmly believes in happy beginnings as long as you can work out what you want and are prepared to work hard to get it. And in her world, an ending is always a chance of a new beginning so it doesn’t really matter if they’re happy or not.
