You're doing one better than me!!! Don't think I know what any authors look like unless I've seen them on the telly.

(Oh and Joanne Harris cos there's a big photo of her in the front of the book I'm currently reading!!!)

I may have 2 or possibly 3. Have you noticed authors don't often put their pictures on books anymore. I keep thinking of Gary Liniker for no 1 but it can't be!

Do you want some clues?

Clue for no. 2: One of her books was a BB group read. You could say she's a bit of a tea leaf
