Loretta Proctor
Loretta Proctor won prizes for stories and plays in the 1970s, but put writing aside for many years. Now back to writing novels, her first book, The Long Shadow, was published in 2005. Her own interest in painting and a lifelong fascination with Pre-Raphaelite artworks led to her writing The Crimson Bed.
Loretta compares her books to those by Sarah Waters, Ruth Rendell and Tracy Chevalier.
