Lil Chase has a first class degree in Creative Writing from London Metropolitan University and works as an Editor in London.
Having been a pub cook and even suffered a brief stint in Disneyland Paris, she settled on a career in her first love - telling stories.
Boys For Beginners started its life as a novel, written in pencil, complete with drawings, when Lil was just 11. Her writing has improved since then but her spelling has not.
Lil lives with Stella - a fox crossed with a rat, who masquerades as a dog.
