Grace is a seasoned fiction writer with a profound passion for storytelling. She was first inspired to write while tending a vibrant bar in Mayfair, London. There, she encountered a colorful array of characters—from East-End gangsters to local prostitutes, brothel madams, millionaires, cowboys, and pick-up artists. These intriguing personalities, each with unique and fascinating tales, became the inspiration for her early work.
