LAURA KAYE grew up in a village in Oxfordshire. After working at the BBC for eight years in the Music department she took a year out to study creative writing at Goldsmiths and in 2017 her debut novel English Animals was published by Little, Brown – part satire of English country life, part lesbian love story with a bit of taxidermy thrown into the mix. She lives in London and has just finished writing a second novel.
