Gemma Walker is an author and playwright. The Judge, the Jailer and the Thief is her first book. Sad Eyes on Happy Faces is her first play. Any queries are to be sent to gemmawalkerwrites@outlook.com

She lives in the West Midlands, England and likes to create stories centering around strong, female characters that are enthralling, fast-paced, emotionally driven that keep the reader hooked and eager to turn the page. They will always feature lesbian characters as she is an advocate for representation in stories that aren’t strictly about sexuality.

As well as writing she enjoys drawing and painting, making things, trips away by the beach, tai-chi, yoga, dancing, visiting castles, and learning about Plantagenet and Tudor history.
