Get Writing With Elen Caldecott

Before becoming a writer, Elen was an archaeologist, a nurse, a theatre usher and a museum security guard. It was while working at the museum that Elen realised there is a way to steal anything if you think about it hard enough. Elen either had to become a master thief or create some characters to do it for her – and so her debut novel, How Kirsty Jenkins Stole the Elephant was born. How Ali Ferguson Saved Houdini and Operation Eiffel Tower swiftly followed.
