British author but as far as I know not published in the UK. She has written a number of pony books for the USA/German publisher Stabenfeldt, although they sadly were not taken up by British publishers. Gill was born near London and though she longed to ride, it was not until she was a student and went on a trekking holiday in Scotland that her wish came true. She now lives in Somerset and has taken up riding once more. As well as writing she also teaches and writes and directs plays. She founded a theatre group called the Malford Players.
