Livi Michael, also known as Olivia Michael, is a British fiction writer who publishes children and adult novels.
One of her influences comes from the fact that she was raised in a single-parent home by her mother and was a single mother herself, which made her aware of the effects of poverty on women’s lives. She highlights the world of poor and working-class women through the characters in her novels.
One of the factors that influenced her children’s books was her son’s hamster named “Frank”. She describes Frank as an “adventurous hamster, and something of an escapologist”
