New-York-born illustrator Teresa Flavin didn’t choose to write her first novel – it chose her. The story idea for The Blackhope Enigma sprang to mind one winter’s day, inspired by her love of Renaissance paintings and a book about labyrinths given to her by her father.
The former art-school lecturer and amateur radio DJ says that moving from the USA to live in Scotland was a huge creative influence. For Teresa, Scotland’s mysterious landscape, rich mythology and dramatic history provide endless fascination and material for stories and artwork.
When she is not writing or illustrating, Teresa leads art workshops in schools, makes paintings and handmade books, travels with her geographer husband, hikes in the Scottish hills and walks every labyrinth she can find.
