    A journalist, she lives in Oxford.

    Real name: Maureen O'Connor.

    Not to be confused with the California writer of Raggedy Ann stories!

    From Wikipedia:

    "The major series produced by Hall features reporter Laura Ackroyd and police detective Michael Thackeray. The series is set in Bradford and confronts issues of 'environmentalism, class and race discrimination'.

    "She has now started writing a new series based around photographer Kate O'Donnell and set in 1960s London."
