Alex Nye
Alex grew up near the sea in King’s Lynn, Norfolk. As a child, she read constantly and became aware of loving books and writing from a very early age. She wrote countless chapters of unfinished novels which ended up under the bed in cardboard boxes but was one of the top ten winners in a WHSmith Young Writers Award at 16 years old. In 1995 she moved from London to Dunblane with her son who was a year old at the time. They lived on Sheriffmuir in a remote cottage and this provided the inspiration for ‘Chill’. She now lives in Dunblane with her son and daughter who are 13 and 10.

Chill
Samuel is trapped by huge snowdrifts in an old remote house. And that’s not the only thing causing a cold shiver to creep down his spine. He feels like the ghostly figure in the locked library has a message...but who is it for? ‘Chill’ won the Royal Mail Awards in 2007 for the 8-12 category.
