In today’s episode, I am chatting with Gill Paul. Gill is the bestselling author of twelve historical novels, many of them about real women from the past whom she thinks have been marginalized or misjudged by historians. Gill was born in Scotland and grew up there, apart from an eventful year at school in the US when she was ten. She studied Medicine at Glasgow University, then English Literature and History (she was a student for a long time), before moving to London to work in publishing. Her first novel was written at weekends, but she has now given up the ‘day job’ to write fiction full-time. Gill swims daily, year-round in a wild pond and loves vintage clothes, old movies, and poking around in bookshops. Her latest novel, Scandalous Women, released yesterday, congrats Gill!
