Biography/History:
Crossing the Line is Tia Fisher's debut novel. Tia spent her youth desperate to escape the boredom of a tiny village in Norfolk, reading everything she could lay her hands on. After being expelled from boarding school and dropping out of university, she had a bewildering variety of jobs - from TV presenter to artists' model - before finding her happy place working in a children's library in London and writing stories for young people. In her fifties, she went back to university, and is now the proud owner of a master's degree in writing for young people. Tia writes books for the teenage rebel who still lives inside her.
