Rosalind Stopps worked for many years with children with disabilities and their families, and has heard many sad, (and happy) stories. She keeps a list on her at all times of things she sees or hears that absolutely have to be written about and at the moment the list includes, amongst other things, a recipe book of fatal recipes.

Rosalind's short stories have been published in five anthologies and read at live literature events in London, Leeds, Hong Kong and New York. Rosalind lives in London and works as a host at the South Bank. Hello, My Name is May is her debut novel.
