- Vanessa Lafaye was born and raised in Florida. She moved to Europe in 1987, living first in France and then in the UK. She spent many years working in academic publishing, including at Oxford University Press. She wrote two acclaimed historical novels, Summertime (also published as Under a Dark Summer Sky, 2015) and First Light (2017), both published by Orion. The final chapters of Miss Marley, her novella inspired by characters from Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol -- Ebenezer Scrooge’s ghostly business partner Jacob Marley and his sister -- were completed by her friend and fellow novelist Rebecca Mascull and published posthumously in 2018. Lafaye detailed the impact of living with cancer in her popular blog Living While Dying, which was picked up in a number of media outlets such as the Daily Mail.
