Nicci French - For the dancer/singer see Nicki French.
Nicci French is the pseudonym for a couple of London journalists, Nicci Gerrard and Sean French, who write psychological thrillers together. They were married in 1990 and since 1999 they live in a village in Suffolk a little over 100 kilometers to the north of London together with the two children from Nicci's first marriage, the two daughters they had together, and a couple of cats. Nicci Gerard Nicci Gerrard was born on June 10, 1958 and she grew up in Worcestershire together with her 2 sisters and her brother. She studied English literature at Oxford University and went on to teach literature in Los Angeles and London. She founded a women's magazine, before she became a freelance journalist. Also, somewhere during that time she got married and got two children. This marriage didn't succeed and she was again single when she met Sean French. She met him when she worked as editor for the New Statesman where French wrote a weekly column, but she went away when she was offered another job at The Observer. Sean French Sean French was born on May 28, 1959 in Bristol. He was, like his two younger brothers Patrick and Karl, educated at William Ellis secondary school in north London before studying English literature at Oxford University. Strangely enough Sean and Nicci never met while there. While at Oxford University, French won a young writers contest organised by Vogue magazine and became a journalist. In 1987 he got his first column and until the end of 2000 he wrote columns for the New Statesman. Bibliography - The Memory game (1997)
