Lily Dunn spent many years editing and writing for Time Out Guides, during which time she edited their quarterly Kids Out magazine. She then went freelance, and along with writing for the Guardian, Independent and Mail on Sunday, completed her first novel, Shadowing the Sun, which was published by Portobello Books in 2008.


She now has two children, and for the time being is having lots of fun with Dora, nearly three, and Arlo seven months, while trying to write her second novel.
