O autorovi

Bridget Collins

Bridget Collins vždycky chtěla být herečkou a chodit na Londýnskou akademii hudebních a dramatických umění. Narodila se v Kentu v Anglii a poté co vystudovala angličtinu na King\'s College v Cambridgi a absolvovala dramatickou školu, najednou zjistila, že píše novelu, aby se odreagovala od práce - a zjistila, že ji to baví... Její první publikovaná novela The Traitor Game, získala cenu Branford Boase Award a byla v širším výběru na cenu Carnegie Medal. Od té doby napsala dalších 6 novel pro teenagery. Vazač knih je její první novelou pro dospělé; vyšla v lednu 2019 a hned se umístila na druhém místě v žebříčku bestselerů Sunday Times. Ačkoli už profesionálně nehraje - v centru jejího dění je teď psaní - je nadšenou amatérskou herečkou. Ráda váže knihy, běhá, hádá se, podřimuje a jí dobré jídlo skoro jako ráda čte.
