Gillian Shields

Gillian Shields spent her childhood roaming over the Yorkshire moors and dreaming of the Brontë sisters. After studying in Cambridge, London, and Paris, she became a teacher. She has taught in a girls' boarding school and also in a drama school located in a Victorian orphanage, where it was rumored that the ghost of a young girl could be heard crying in the night. Gillian was inspired to write immortal in celebration of the power of first love, the strength of female friendship, and the haunting mystery of the past.
