Jill Marshall is the author of the best-selling Jane Blonde series, the award-winning Doghead series, and many other titles for tweens, teens, YA and OA (Old Adults). In 2000, Jill left a career in HR/Training and Development to take up writing seriously - if you can call penning novels about a girl spy called Jane Blonde and her rapping mentor, G-Mamma 'serious'. The first Jane Blonde book was published by Macmillan in 2006, went on to become a Times top ten best-seller and a World Book Day title in 2008, continued with six more books, been picked up for film and TV, and has fostered a spytastic fanbase of spylets around the world being published in 20 plus countries and eleven languages. Jane Blonde has now joined forces to fight for good with some of Jill's other superhero characters - Jack B-C AKA Doghead, legendary catgirl Matilda Peppercorn, Stein (of Stein&Frank) and mysterious team leader, Gideon Flynn. Jack, Tilly and Stein each have their own magically, mythically mad origin series - and together they are S*W*A*G*G. The first SWAGG book, Spook is out now with SWAGG 2, School of ICE out next. As well as penning middle-grade series, Jill Marshall also writes extensively for teens/YA and adults. She has a collection of stand-alone novels for teens - FANMAIL, on the obsession with boy bands and social media for those who can't really handle them, and PINEAPPLE, a heart-wrenching love triangle for the WW1 Centenary, and LENA'S FORTUNE, a historical novel set in Manchester, England, where Jill hails from, in 1912. When not writing or writing about writing, Jill loves music (including the two songs written for FANMAIL which are available on Amazon), dancing and performing arts.
