Tania Crosse was born in London but at a very young age she moved to Surrey, where her love of the countryside took root. She always enjoyed reading and has composed stories ever since she could hold a pen. After studying French Literature at university, she devoted twenty years to bringing up her three children. But her passion for writing never left her and, side by side with her in-depth historical research, she began to pen her novels in earnest as her family grew up, focusing on Tavistock and the surrounding area of Dartmoor from Victorian times to the 1950s. Tania and her husband live partly in Berkshire and partly at their cottage on Dartmoor, where Tania retreats to write and absorb the atmosphere of the places that inspire her.
