Novelist
About
Sabine Durrant, a former journalist, is the author of seven novels of dark psychological suspense, including Under Your Skin, Remember Me This Way and Lie with Me which was a Richard & Judy pick and a Sunday Times top-ten bestseller. Many of her novels are set in south London and come under the heading ‘Domestic Noir’, although Sun Damage, the rights of which were fought over by twenty-four television and film companies, features a pair of con-artists in the south of France.
Before becoming a full-time writer, Sabine Durrant worked on editorial at the Independent, the Sunday Times and the Guardian where she regularly helped specialist contributors improve their writing — an experience she hopes to draw on in her work for the Royal Literary Fund. She has written two works of general fiction, including the bestselling Having it and Eating it, and two Connie Pickles novels for young adults. Her essay ‘At Sea’, for the collection Truth or Dare, was a personal investigation into the life and death of her father, a pilot in the Fleet Air Arm, who disappeared off the Dorset coast, along with his navigator, a few months after she was born and about whom she previously knew nothing.
Sabine Durrant lives in Balham with her husband, three adult children, one dog and two cats. She is currently writing a thriller set around a road trip.
