Biography/History:
Priscilla Masters was born in Halifax, Yorkshire, the third of seven multi-racial children adopted by an orthopaedic surgeon and his Classics graduate wife. Brought up in South Wales, she moved to Birmingham in the late 60s to train as a nurse. After living in the Staffordshire Moorlands she wrote a children's book, Mr Bateman's Garden, a fantasy adventure set in the gardens of Biddulph Grange. In 1991 she began working as a practice nurse in Leek which is where the seven Detective Inspector Joanna Piercey novels are based. In 1998 she moved to Shropshire with her husband, a GP in the Potteries. Priscilla is also the author of three medical mysteries dealing with such diverse subjects as the blurred line between sanity and insanity, the arrogance of a surgeon and the vulnerability of a woman GP. Inspired by Sherlock Holmes, who famously stayed in Ruyton-XI-Towns when he was a medical student, Agatha Chrisitie and Ruth Rendell she now works as a nurse in Shrewsbury, a town which inspires her every bit as much as Leek.
