Lucy Coats writes for children of all ages. Her first picture book was published in 1991, and in 2004 she was shortlisted for the Blue Peter Book Prize for 'Atticus the Storyteller's 100 Greek Myths'. Lucy read her first book of Greek myths at the age of seven, and has been hooked on stories of all kinds ever since.

Lucy's latest picture book, 'Captain Beastlie's Pirate Party', has just been published by Nosy Crow. Coming for 2015 are: 'Beasts of Olympus' an exciting myth-based series for 7-9's from Piccadilly Press (UK) and Grosset and Dunlap (Penguin) USA; 'Cleo' a gripping YA novel about the young Cleopatra from Orchard Books; and 'The Little Green Drum', an Early Reader from Orion.

Lucy lives in rural Northamptonshire and writes looking out over green fields full of sheep. She has a deskdog called Hero who generally lies between her screen and keyboard and is very good at encouraging Lucy when the writing is going slowly.
