Former police investigator Chris Clement-Green started writing seriously in 2007. She undertook Open University creative writing and advanced creative writing courses and completed the Bath Spa University creative writing MA in 2013. The Soft Tread of Vengeance is her first attempt at a novel and a lucky connection made at Oxford University’s Summer School resulted in a request to submit the first twenty pages to Curtis Brown in New York – although she’s not holding her breath. She is moving to Wales to set up a writing school and retreat.
