About Lorna
Lorna Peplow (née Wilkinson) is a writer based in Oxfordshire, though she was born and raised in the Devon countryside. Writing fiction has been her passion since the age of four, when she started composing 'books' in felt-tip pen that her teacher read out to the class. She has a Master's degree (Dist.) in Creative Writing and a PhD in English, and completed the Faber Academy Work in Progress course in 2019. She now works for an academic publisher; her dream is to become a novelist.
Lorna is working on her YA novel House of Thorns, a historical gothic thriller following a 17th-century yeoman's maid who sets out to prove her master murdered her sister, and in doing so uncovers a dark family secret. She is currently seeking agent representation.
Outside of writing, she enjoys watching murder mysteries on TV while doing jigsaw puzzles with her excellent husband, singing made-up songs (out-of-tune), running, and dreaming of the day when she can get a rescue dog. She is 31.
