The Girl From London is Olivia's first historical fiction novel. She is the author of two contemporary novels, A Way Back to Happy and A Bumpy Year. Olivia has completed a number of writing courses, including a Masters in Creative Writing at AUT and has had several short stories published.


Olivia lives with her husband and three children in Auckland, NZ, and runs independent bookstore The Booklover Bookshop in the seaside suburb of Milford.
