Contributors to DTYOM Anthology (12)

One of the contributors to the anthology Dear Twelve-Year-Old Me is Claire Sheehy.

Claire Sheehy has created the detective Lizzie Marsh and has a number of Lizzie Marsh short stories in anthologies. Claire lives in the North West of England and her detective stories are based in and around Lancashire. Lizzie Marsh is a well-loved member of the fictional world Claire has built and Claire felt this would be a great opportunity to offer insight into Lizzie's back story. Other stories involving Lizzie Marsh include Shoplift, a standalone short story introducing Lizzie Marsh. Also, “The Birth of Goody Merryman” in the charity anthology Everyday Kindness edited by LJ Ross, and “Mary Joseph and Lizzie”, a humorous Christmas tale found in the compilation book A Cosy Christmas. Claire's first full-length novel The Pike will show readers more about Lizzie and the way she solves crimes.
