Kimberley Chambers (author)

Chambers was born and brought up in Dagenham, Essex.[6] Her mother, Valerie, worked as a typist, and her father, Tom, was a steel erector. An only child, she attended John Perry Infants and Junior School and Dagenham Priory Comprehensive, but left without any O-Levels.[7] She worked as a market trader on a ladies’ fashion stall in the legendary Roman Road market in the East End.[8] She also worked as a pub DJ and as a mini-cab driver in Romford before writing her first novel, Billie Jo, at the age of 38.[9][10]

Chambers' first novel, Billie Jo, was published by Random House’s Preface imprint in 2008. Chambers published another five books with Preface before moving to Harper Collins with her novel in 2012.[11] Chambers still writes all her books by hand.[12]

Her ninth novel, Payback, was awarded a Specsavers Silver Bestseller Award in 2018 for sales in excess of 250,000 copies.[13]
