Marian Babson was born in Salem, Massachusetts, but has lived in London for the greater part of her life. She has worked as a librarian, managed a campaign headquarters, been a receptionist, secretary, and den mother to a firm of commercial artists, and was coeditor of a knitting machine magazine, despite the fact that she cannot knit, even with two needles. A long sojourn as a temp sent her into the heart of business life all over London, working for architects, law firms, the British Museum, a Soho club and even a visiting superstar. She also served as secretary to the Crime Writers Association. Marian Babson is now a full-time writer and her many interests include theater, cinema, art, cooking, travel, and, of course, cats.
