Josie Lloyd grew up in Essex, before going to Goldsmiths' College where she graduated with an honours degree in English and Drama.

After a brief time training traders in the City, she embarked on a career in the Sales Promotion industry. After a year she gave up her job, worked as a waitress and freelancer and wrote her first novel, It Could Be You.

She then teamed up with Emlyn Rees to write the bestseller Come Together, and they have been working together ever since.

Emlyn Rees spent his early twenties traveling around Asia and mixing cocktails in London for the likes of Sylvester Stallone and Princess Anne.

He published his first crime novel aged twenty-five, his second a year later, and then co-wrote seven comedies with Josie Lloyd, including the Sunday Times bestseller Come Together.

He is the editor of British and American paperback crime fiction imprint, Exhibit A, and lives on and around Brighton beach with Joanna Rees, aka Josie Lloyd.
