Zara Stoneley was born in a small village in Staffordshire and wanted to be James Herriot when she grew up. After completing an IT degree, working as a consultant, running a dog grooming business, teaching, and working at a veterinary practice she decided she had more than enough material to write several books even if she would never qualify as a vet! She now splits her time between a country cottage in Cheshire and an apartment in Barcelona, and writes fun, romantic stories set in the British countryside that she loves so much. You can also follow her travels in Barcelona and Cheshire on Instagram, and explore the inspiration behind her books on Pinterest.

Zara Stoneley also writes under the name Sue Heath
