Caroline
Lawrence was born in London, England. Her American parents returned to the
United States shortly afterwards and she grew up in Bakersfield, California
with her younger brother and sister. Her father taught English and drama in
a local high school and her mother was an artist.

When she was twelve, Caroline's family moved to Stanford University in northern
California so that her father could study Linguistics. Caroline inherited
her father's love of words and her mother's love of art. She subsequently
studied Classics at Berkeley, where she won a Marshall Scholarship to Cambridge.
There, at Newnham College, she studied Classical Art and Archaeology.

The room where Caroline writes
After Cambridge, Caroline remained in England, and later took an MA in Hebrew
and Jewish Studies at University College, London. She then taught Latin, French
and art at a small London primary school. In 2000 she wrote 'The Thieves of
Ostia', the first in a series of children's adventure stories set in Ancient
Rome.
The Roman Mysteries combine Caroline's love of art history,
ancient languages and travel. Her other passions include cinema, jazz and
London. Caroline
has a son Simon, from a previous marriage, and she now lives by the river
in London with her husband Richard, a graphic designer.
