J.M. Simpson
Originally born in Essex, Jo was predominantly raised in the West Country, enjoying a childhood in Devon and Cornwall, never far from a rugged coastline, sandy beach, or harbour.
Jo currently lives in Kent, with her two (occasionally stroppy) teenage daughters, her extremely long suffering husband and her two writing partners Max (who features as Brock in the series) and Merlin, both rescue Border Collie's.
Jo's debut set of novels are the Castleby series, set in a coastal community and largely inspired by the plethora of time spent in and around the UK's coastline, and the never ending visits to RNLI shops that her children insisted on with a regularity. The series seemed a natural progression and the fictional seaside town of Castleby grew with new people and new plotlines.
The first debut novel in the Castleby series was Sea State, followed by the second in the series, Sea Change.
In what little spare time Jo has, she spends writing, walking by the ocean, walking the dogs, being an armchair movie critic, and drinking copious amounts of wine in her most favourite pub with friends.
