Philippa East grew up in Scotland before moving to Oxford and then London to train as a Clinical Psychologist. A few years ago, she left the NHS to work in private practice and dedicate more hours to writing. The result was her debut LITTLE WHITE LIES, which was longlisted for The Guardian's Not-The-Booker Prize and shortlisted for the CWA "New Blood" Award for best debut of 2020. Philippa’s next book SAFE AND SOUND was released in 2021, and her third book I’LL NEVER TELL—another twisty and compelling tale—is available now. If you’ve read all of those, don’t worry! Philippa’s fourth book, A GUILTY SECRET, will be released by HQ/HarperCollins in February 2024. Philippa lives in the beautiful Lincolnshire countryside with her spouse and cat. She loves reading (of course!) and long country walks, and she also performs in a local folk duo called The Miracle Cure. Alongside her writing, Philippa continues to work as a psychologist and therapist. You can find Philippa on Twitter: @philippa_east
