Biographie et Parcours de l'Auteur
Caroline Peckham is an English romance and fantasy author best known for the work she writes with her sister, Susanne Valenti. Public biographical detail about her early life and formal education is limited, but Peckham has referred to a period at university and has said that, before writing full time, she worked with her parents while trying to build a career through self-publishing. She began writing in 2014 and self-published separately through Amazon, spending several years learning marketing, audience-building, and the business side of independent publishing. A decisive turning point came when she left her job, spent six months in Costa Rica, and committed more seriously to fiction; another came at Christmas 2019, when she and Valenti formally teamed up as co-authors, a collaboration Peckham has described as transformative.
