Biography
Linda Chapman learned to ride when she was three. Her first pony was Swizzle, a stubborn Welsh Mountain pony who she used to imagine was a unicorn. Unfortunately, Swizzle behaved nothing like the Twilight of her stories!
Linda Chapman is best known for her series: My Secret Unicorn, books full of secrets, magic and of course a mythical creature, the unicorn. She then turned to acting and dreams and wrote Bright Lights, a book about a girl who longs to be a film actress, a Ballet Shoes for the 21st century.
When Linda is not writing she trains dogs and teaches drama – and of course rides whenever she can.

FAVOURITE BOOK:
I have lots of favourite books. There are the books I loved when I was a child that have special memories for me because I read them so many times – particularly pony stories by the Pullein-Thompson sisters, Walter Farley’s Black Stallion books, Enid Blyton’s Famous Five and Mystery series and Gwynedd Rae’s series about a bear called Mary Plain. There are also books that I have read more recently that I just love like Philip Pullman’s Dark Materials Trilogy, the Harry Potter books, Cate Tiernan’s Wicca series and as far as adult books go, anything by Patrick McGrath, John Fowles, George Eliot and Jilly Cooper.
FAVOURITE SONG:
‘Love Song’ by The Cure
