Show Stealer
Page 34
Hayley Barker has a BA (hons) degree from Birmingham University and has taught secondary school English for eighteen years. She is a huge YA fiction fan and says being published is the most exciting thing that has ever happened to her. Hayley was inspired to write Show Stopper and Show Stealer by her fears about the growing wave of crime and animosity against minority groups in England. She lives in Essex with her husband and two young sons.
