Cara hunter biography

Hi everyone, and today on the blog I’m delighted to welcome crime writer Cara Hunter. Cara is the author of the DI Adam Fawley series, featuring the bestseller novel Close to Home. I was delighted when she agreed to answer some of my questions for an interview on her journey to publication.
Over to you, Cara&#;
1) Did you always want to be an author? As a child, did you have a turning point with a novel that made you go &#;Wow!&#;
I didn&#;t have being an author as a clearly articulated ambition when I was a child, but I did always love reading and writing, and then read English at university, so books have definitely always been my overriding passion. The book that changed me most as a child was The Lord of the Rings. It informed my values at a formative age, as well as showing me what wonders can be wrought with words. So if I had a &#;wow&#; moment, that was definitely it.
2) Did you enjoy English at school? Was there a set book you had to read that you loved?
