About Theresa Le Flem

I am a novelist, artist and poet and I live in Guernsey, Channel Islands, with my husband Graham, a Guernsey man. I have five novels published and am currently writing my sixth. There is also an anthology of my poetry and drawings available. A member of the Romantic Novelists' Association, The Society of Authors, the German Occupation Society and the Guernsey Society, I was born in London and among other counties in England including Kent, I lived and worked in Cornwall for many years. I love the sea and it often features as a backdrop to my novels. Recently I published my fifth novel, a Second World War historical novel which is set in 1942 during the German Occupation of Guernsey. This was a little known about episode in British History when the Channel Islands were invaded by the Nazis, an occupation which lasted five years. Since moving back to Guersney with my husband I have been captivated by the history of this small island.
