Camille Booker writes historical fiction, drawing inspiration from the achievements of real-life women whose courage, intelligence and determination made a difference during their time. Her stories explore themes of motherhood, equality and discrimination. Her debut novel, part bittersweet love story, spy adventure, and crime mystery set in Australia during WWII, has been described as a coming-of-age page-turner and is the result of hard work and many stolen moments in between being a busy mum of two young children.  It was published by Hawkeye Publishing (2021), long listed for the Lucy Cavendish Fiction Prize at the University of Cambridge (2019) and was a finalist in the Hawkeye Manuscript Prize (2020).

A former French university teacher, Camille has always loved words and language, so her interest in writing fiction was a natural progression. She studied Creative Writing at the University of Wollongong on the south coast of New South Wales, where she lives with her husband, young son, and baby daughter. She is currently enrolled in the exclusive Curtis Brown Creative 6-month Novel Writing Course and has recently been accepted to a PhD in Creative Writing, which she plans to begin in 2023.
