Lis Howell is the author of the Suzy Spencer mysteries. They are set around the fictional town of Norbridge, Cumbria. In her varied life, Lis has spent a short time running a post office in a West Cumbrian village; her daughter was born in Carlisle; and she lived for several years near Hadrian’s Wall. Lis is an award-winning TV journalist based in both Cumbria, and London, and is now an academic. Like Suzy, she’s a confused churchgoer, though she married a churchwarden! Anglican traditions feature in her books, along with modern media, family life and village intrigue.
