Gemma Machray was born into the height of Thatcher's Britain which may explain for her passionate interest in economics and politics. Before taking up writing full time, she was a high school English teacher and exam board marker in Scotland. She is on secondment in Australia for a year and is thoroughly enjoying Australian hospitality and political skullduggery.
