About Serena Clarke
Serena
Clarke writes smart, sweet and sassy fiction that reflects the international
lives we lead – or dream of. No matter where you are, life can be complicated.
But it’s also full of magic, possibility and second chances. So yes, you’ll
definitely find a happy ending in her stories!
Serena
grew up in a family of itchy-footed readers and dreamers – not concentrating,
reading the atlas and Narnia books, and planning to escape somewhere magical as
soon as she could. When she was 16, she went from New Zealand to live in Sweden
for a year. It was the beginning of many travels and adventures – and quite a
few disasters! She didn’t know it at the time, but eventually she’d be grateful
for all the downs as well as the ups. As writers say in the face of adversity:
“I can use that.”
Despite a BA in Scandinavian Studies and a Diploma in Equine
Management, she’s done all kinds of completely unrelated
jobs – editing an international medical journal, developing photos
for the Commonwealth Games, temping in a City law firm, teaching English as a
second language to wayward teenagers, and many more.
Having come full circle through seven cities in four
countries, she’s now back in New Zealand in her 39th house – probably not the
last! Luckily, she has a tall, dark and handsome husband to help look after
their two boys while she dreams up stories. Turns out that happily-ever-afters
happen in real life too.

Contemporary romantic fiction
with a chick lit feel – available 18 February 2013
Livi Callaway has fled back to London after a reality TV
disaster in New Zealand. Safely anonymous in the big city, she’s determined to
stay under the radar from now on. But her attempts to build a new life are
complicated by unexpected visitors from her old one, and new dangers and
temptations lie in wait.
Late one night, she meets a mysteriously sexy American on the
Underground – and the events that follow take her from Pooh Bear to the golden
lights of Paris, via a trail of rock stars dead and alive. A family in
disarray, a determined Swede, a crazed Australian and a childhood friend (who
might yet be more than that) have her all over the place as she tries to
discover the American’s secret – while keeping her own.
With help – and occasional hindrance – from her friends, what
she eventually finds is something unexpected...sometimes, running away can lead
you to exactly what you didn’t know you needed.
