Gillian Godden is a crime and fiction Indie writer who hails from London, UK. She works full-time as an NHS key worker at a local inner city medical center in East Hull, East Yorkshire, England. Her job as an NHS key worker involves caring for patients from various backgrounds, making each day different and unique. With the recent pandemic, Godden and her colleagues have been relied upon to provide guidance and support to many frightened and lonely people in their time of need.\n \nGodden's job as an NHS key worker is not a typical 9 to 5 job, and she often works long hours to support her patients. However, she has found writing to be an escape from the mental stresses of her day. When she comes home from work, she writes as a way to wind down and escape from the demands of her job.\n \nIn her personal life, Godden grew up in a large family and is the youngest of seven siblings. Over the years, they have lost touch as life has moved on. She lived in London for over 30 years and worked in various London stripper pubs and venues during that time. Godden has a grown-up son who now lives and works in London as a hematology lab technician. He has been working on the Covid 19 testing, which has been a worrying time for them as a family.\n \nGodden's writing career began when she was encouraged to write a short story by a local library book competition. Although she did not win, she was encouraged by her NHS colleagues to continue writing. She went with a Vanity publisher, which gave her a platform to showcase her first book, "Francesca," on Amazon and in online book clubs. She has since written several books, including "Dangerous Games," "Nasty Business," and "Dirty Dealings," as well as a standalone book called "Gold." Her writing is popular among readers who are interested in the characters and stories she creates.
