Altar Ego

Kathy Lette divides her time between being a full-time writer, demented mother and trying to find a shopping trolley that doesn't have a clubbed wheel. Kathy first achieved success as a teenager with the novel Puberty Blues, now a major motion picture. She lives in London with her husband and two children and has just finished a stint as Writer-in-Residence at London's Savoy Hotel.

Shirley Barthelmie studied drama at East 15 Acting School in London. She has a love of theatre and the spoken word which has led to voiceover and audiobook work since emigrating to Australia. She especially enjoys pantomime and has toured with children's shows throughout the UK. Shirly had narrated a number of Kathy Lette books including Altar Ego as well as Blood Sinister and The Cunning Man by Celia Rees.
