Ella Harper spent eight years climbing to the top of the banking industry before idly mapping out the beginnings of a novel on an old laptop. She soon realised her characters were more real to her than dividends and corporate actions ever could be, and left her job to become a writer. Eight years later, and Ella has published four hugely popular novels under the name Sasha Wagstaff.
