Biography of Lindsey Davis

Born

Birmingham, an industrial town in the middle of Great Britain. A date? Well, I have seen it somewhere, but I'm not going to mention it - besides, it is impolite to ask a Lady's age!

Education

English degree at Oxford University.

Employment

Lindsey worked in the Civil Service (government employee).

Today

Lindsey now writes full-time, enabling us to enjoy the exploits of Marcus Didius Falco. She also gives talks and does book-signing tours when not busy writing.
