I hurried to finish my then current read, and was then falling into the pages of this fabulous book! I liked the sound of it so off I toddled with my signed copy of The Thirteenth. I met Georgia while she was signing books in Waterstones, Nottingham toward the end of 2010. Georgia Twynham is the self published author of the new Thirteenth series. Georgia spends time with her daughter in their little white cottage in Leicestershire and her life is filled with promoting her books, writing, running, and walking. And so Val Saunders, daughter to Mike and Susan Saunders, was born. She also wanted a main character that had a normal family, with problems that most teenagers/young adults in this country might be experiencing and could relate to. Georgia felt there was a need for a strong British female heroine. Writing for her own web site and articles for magazines helped to support her and her daughter. Georgia wrote short stories and poetry from an early age but her real passion for writing didn’t truly emerge until she was 31. A new country and a new language helped her come out of her shell and for eleven years, she lived and worked on the beautiful island of Menorca. Born in Wellingborough in 1972, Georgia was brought up with her two older brothers in a sleepy Leicestershire village until at the age of fifteen, her parents decided to move abroad, taking her with them.
