Emma Green grew up in Dorset before West Country accents were cool. After many years working for the police, she decided to swap her badge for a pen and start writing. The Not-So Great Escape is Emma's first children's book, and she drew inspiration for the story from her very unusual pets. As the proud owner of three alpacas, she knows all about their fierce loyalty and loveable stubbornness...and how to dodge their spit attacks with style.
