“Seskis reverses the classic methods of such predecessors as Charles Dickens and Thomas Hardy by distancing us from her characters in order to keep us ignorant of the driving force behind their actions until the climactic conclusion…Designed for readers who appreciate the journey and are willing to invest the time to reflect on its significance once the destination is reached.”

About Tina Seskis
Tina Seskis grew up in Hampshire, the daughter of an airline engineer and a sales rep. Her parents bestowed upon her a certain degree of eccentricity: her dad among other things built a boat in the front garden on their commuter belt housing estate, moved them into a touring caravan when their new house wasn’t built, and took them all over the world with his free air travel and limited budget. Tina studied business at the University of Bath and then worked for over twenty years in marketing, advertising, and online, with varying degrees of success. Tina never intended to write a novel. She wrote One Step Too Far over a two month period in summer 2010 and then gave up writing entirely for well over a year, before writing her second novel, A Serpentine Affair, in autumn 2011. Tina lives in North London with her husband and son.
