Hollywood's Evil Secret - Softcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Born in London, Sally has moved around the UK, enjoying the hustle and bustle of London, a quintessential English village in the Midlands, and the Hampshire seaside. She currently lives where the work takes her. She has fond childhood memories of heady summer days in her parents' garden, seated at a table learning to draw and paint. It was this period that moulded her career. Sally's mother, an accomplished seamstress, taught Sally to knit and sew, so that by the age of thirteen, she was able to make her own clothes. This is where her interest in fashion and costume began. After leaving grammar school, Sally trained to be an engineering tracer and detail draftsperson, and ran her own company employing several tracers. She also designed record sleeves, adverts and worked on Marvel comics illustrations whilst raising three children. Subsequently, she was offered the chance to design costumes for a well established ballet school. Her father also encouraged her artistic skills: his persuasion gave her the push to go back into full time education. Studying Fashion and Textiles, she later attained a BA and MA in Costume. After the death of her mother, Sally's grief caused her to struggle with her creativity. During a period of isolation, she became inspired to write, and it was the intrigue of today's pursuit of wealth and status by many, and the opposing contrast of deprivation in WW2 that became the subject for this novel. Sally is still a Costume Designer, as well as a Production Designer and Storyboard Artist. She is currently co-writing a novel and screenplay and designing costume for two UK feature films.
