Award-winning author, Emily Pattullo, lives near the coast in Dorset, UK, with her husband and two young sons. Previously she lived in London, where, by day she worked with children and then in magazine publishing, and by night wrote songs and sang them in smoky bars and clubs. After ten years of that, she moved to the country to start a family and run her own writing, copy-editing and proof reading business. She now writes from the relative quiet of her home in the countryside, whilst keeping the chaos of the rest of the world in the forefront of her mind. Ring Around Rosie is Emily's first novel. It is a fast-paced thriller, highlighting the terrifying world of child-trafficking and prostitution. The launch of Ring Around Rosie, to mark the release in paperback, took place at Waterstones, following the huge success of its ebook on Amazon. By educating teens in a subtle but informative way, through fiction, Emily hopes to raise awareness of sex trafficking; a fast-growing, global issue that she is afraid, even if not directly, is likely to affect many of our children at some point in their lives, purely because of the sheer magnitude of the problem. www.emilypattullo.com
