Ali McNamara attributes her over active and very vivid imagination to one thing - being born an only child.
Too much time spent dreaming up adventures when she was young has left her head bursting with stories just waiting to be told.
Ali lives in Cambridgeshire, with her husband and two children, and when she isn't writing, she enjoys counter-acting all that inactivity, by cycling and walking her two Labrador dogs.
