Liza Granville was born in Worcestershire and brought up in rural Gloucestershire. She declared herself a writer at the age of six, but life got in the way. She’s been a farmer, a builder, a maker of patchwork quilts, and a painter. She has bred Persian cats and rare breed poultry, made cheese, run a wholefood restaurant & catering business, taught English to foreign students, and done innumerable unrewarding jobs to keep body and writing spark together. In 1998 she graduated from Dartington College of Arts. Subsequently she got an MA in Creative Writing from Plymouth University, and is now half-heartedly tackling a PhD.
Her novel, Curing The Pig, is published by Flame Books.
