Since her parents met on the golf course playing mixed foursomes, the Wildernesse country club played a big part in family life for Lucy and her two brothers. Ever the embryo journalist, Lucy listened avidly to her parents discussions about the various issues and sometimes scandals that beset the local golf world.Lucy spent much of her time outside school in the children's corner of the Sevenoaks bookshop. There she won a general knowledge competition set by the bookshop. This led to a ceremony with the renowned children's author Noel Streatfield presenting the prizes. On hearing the ten year old wanted to be a "writer like you" when she grew up, the great author responded, to hoots of laughter from the assembled grown-ups, "this little girl wants to steal my job". The late Noel might be glad to know the adult Lucy writes mostly crime novels, specialising in the golf world.Her writing career started in her school days when she contributed to magazines. Rebelling against her intellectual family, she eschewed going to university because she had a fixation with writing about "real people" so she was delighted to start a career in magazine journalism writing on a variety of subjects from travel to celebrity interviews and general features. She progressed on to newspapers writing a finance for women column for the Sunday Telegraph from where she moved to the Sunday Express initially writing for the financial pages, specialising in interviews. After her third child was born handicapped, to look after her, Lucy gave up office work but accepted an offer to write a domestic column from home.Now her children are grown-up, Lucy has returned to her first ambition, to write fiction. She is now an enthusiastic amateur golfer and has spent some time as a referee, which together with her inherited experience of the game has put her in a good position to be a doyen of the golf novel.visualizza meno
