ⓘ About Tess Stimson

Tess Stimson is a bestselling author of romance and mystery fiction from the United Kingdom. The author was born and raised in Sussex, England. In her childhood, she lived in Africa and Greece before she won a scholarship and studied at the Lingfield-based Notre Dame School. In 1991, she quit ITN to pen “Yours Till the End,” her first book which was the biography of Jackie Mann, the Beirut hostage.
