Lynne Truss is a writer and journalist who started out as a
literary editor with a blue pencil and then got sidetracked. The
author of three novels and numerous radio comedy dramas, she spent
six years as the television critic of The Times of London, followed
by four (rather peculiar) years as a sports columnist for the same
newspaper. She won Columnist of the Year for her work for Women’s
Journal. Lynne Truss also hosted Cutting a Dash, a popular BBC
Radio 4 series about punctuation. She now reviews books for the
Sunday Times of London and is a familiar voice on BBC Radio 4. She
lives in Brighton, England.
BONNIE TIMMONS is best known for inspiring and creating images for
the television show Caroline in the City and illustrating numerous
national ad campaigns.
