Amazon. co. uk: Linda Green: Books, Biogs, Audiobooks, Discussions. I was born in North London in 1. Hertfordshire. I wrote my first novella, the Time Machine, aged nine, but unfortunately the pony- based time travel thriller genre never took off. Undeterred, I declared that my ambition was to have a novel published (I could have been easy on myself and just said 'to write a novel' but no, I had to consign myself to years of torture and rejections). I was frequently asked to copy out my stories for the classroom wall (probably because my handwriting was so awful no one could read my first draft), and received lots of encouragement from my teachers Mr Roberts, Mrs Chandler (who added yet more pressure by writing in my autograph book when I left primary school that she looked forward to reading my first published novel!) and Mr Bird. My first publication came when I was thirteen and my Ode to Gary Mabbutt won second prize in the Tottenham Weekly Herald 'My Favourite Player' competition. At fifteen I won the Junior Spurs Football Reporter of the Year Competition and got to report on a first division football match from the press box at White Hart Lane (I got lots of funny looks and none of the journalists spoke to me.)At sixteen I embarked on 'A' levels and a journalism course at De Havilland College, Hertfordshire, and my college magazine interview about football hooliganism with local MP and football club chairman David Evans made a double page spread in Shoot! During a ten year career in regional journalism I worked as a reporter on the Birmingham Daily News, news editor on the Birmingham Metro News and Chief Feature Writer on the Coventry Evening Telegraph, winning Highly Commended in the Feature Writer of the Year category of the 1. Press Gazette Regional Press Awards. I loved working on regional newspapers but by 1. I left my staff job to write my first novel and work as a freelance journalist. I have written for The Guardian, The Independent on Sunday, The Times Educational Supplement, The Big Issue, Wanderlust and Community Care Magazine. I found the writing and working from home a very solitary process so also worked as co- ordinator of the Birmingham Bureau of Children's Express (a national charity which ran a learning through journalism programme for young people) and taught journalism to schoolchildren for the National Academy of Writing. After I moved north in 2. I qualified as an adult education tutor and taught creative writing classes to students aged between 1. Workers Educational Association across Calderdale, West Yorkshire. After more than a hundred rejections from agents for my first novel (and more rewrites than I care to remember) I finally got an agent but still couldn't get a publisher. I started work on my second novel I DID A BAD THING in 2. I gave birth to my son Rohan in 2. Headline Review in 2. Massive sigh of relief! The latest Tweets from Linda Green (@Linda4ideas).

I can't ever imagine not writing! I live in a village near Halifax , West Yorkshire, am married to Ian Hodgson, a sports photographer for a national newspaper, and have a seven- year- old son, Rohan, whose favourite books are currently the Mr Gum series by Andy Stanton. I enjoy travelling (though I haven't been anywhere more exotic than Center. Parcs since I had Rohan) and have trekked after wild orang- utans in Borneo, been to the edge of the Arctic Circle to see polar bears and as far south as Tierra del Fuego to photograph penguins (yes, I know it would have been easier and cheaper to go to Chester zoo!).

American tan variety), Thomas the Tank Engine stories (those engines are so mean and miserable), candyfloss (I don't do pink and sweet) and the notice on pay and display machines which says 'overpayments accepted' (big of them!).
