Gemma Burgess lived in London throughout her twenties, working as a copywriter. It was her love of high heels that eventually got her to begin to writing, after putting her back out and being confined to a bed for three weeks. She wanted to write something that was similar to her experiences, and that could both comfort and charm other women. Burgess published The Dating Detox, an anti-romance romantic comedy. She currently lives in Knotting Hill, London and is working on her follow-up novel.
