Lucy Ann Unwin

  • 5 stars across 3 books
Lucy spent many years working as a music journalist for the BBC, interviewing her heroes and absorbing enough live music to confirm you can never have too much of a good thing (especially if that thing is the bass coming through the floor to shake your rib bones). She can't walk past a book shop, and reviews and blogs about books when she's not writing her own, mainly as a ruse to keep interviewing rockstars (otherwise known as authors).
