Gillian is a best-selling childrens' novelist with more than 40 books under her belt, but she's probably best known for the Demon Headmaster series of books. She hasn't always been a novelist. She's also worked for the village baker and been assistant to a Member of Parliament. Gillian has even been taken into the wolf cage at London Zoo. It was all in the name of research though. (If you want to know what it was like, you'll find a description in Wolf).

The Demon Headmaster books are:

• The Demon Headmaster
• Beware of the Demon Headmaster
• The Demon Headmaster Strikes Again
• The Demon Headmaster Takes Over
• The Revenge of the Demon Headmaster
• Wolf
