Pippa Dunn grew up in a misty mill village on the edge of the Peak District. She began her career by founding an independent Scottish arts festival, and then moved to London to work with a whole host of charities. Now, Pippa lives in Hackney with her husband, and can usually be found scribbling in one of her local coffee shops, exploring London's hidden history, or waiting for the lights to go down at one of the city's many theatres.
