Caroline McGuire is an author and travel writer.
She grew up in both the UK and French-speaking Belgium, before moving to London for university aged 19. She fell in love with the city and never left, spending the last 20ish years working on national newspapers and websites.
After coming up with the idea for her first book several years ago, she was proud of herself for finally managing to get it down on paper during a year of maternity leave after her son was born, before realising that was when the real work (editing it into something readable) began.
When she’s not writing, Caroline loves travelling the world and waking up somewhere different, whether it’s an Ibizan farmhouse, a guest house in Cape Town, or a tent on the Isle of Sheppey.
She’s also a perpetual hobbyist, trying out everything from knitting and cold-water swimming to learning the ukulele and furniture restoration.
She lives in South London with her partner, their son, and a pet Bedlington Whippet, in a formerly derelict house that they did up on a shoestring.
