Consequences - Bridget Roe
Bridget Roe grew up in the 1960’s in the London suburbs. She went to Harrow Weald Grammar, where she met her future husband and developed her love of creative writing. After attending the prestigious Watford Copywriting Course, she moved into branding and communications, where her main claim to fame was naming Wispa for Cadbury’s. In 1978 she found out that her father had a second life that she knew nothing about. Nearly 40 years later, she stopped working for long enough to write about it in her debut novel Consequences. Bridget now lives under one roof in a multigenerational house with her husband, one of her daughters, her son-in-law and their two dogs. When she’s not writing, she runs an AirBNB and private hire swimming pool that she hopes might give her enough ammunition for her next book.
