Estelle Maher

Estelle was born in Liverpool, spent her teen years in Dorset and then has lived most of her adult life on the Wirral in Merseyside with her husband, two children and three dogs. 
Working a variety of office jobs throughout her life, she reached her forties and decided that she wanted to pursue her secret passion for writing and wrote her first book, Grace and the Ghost, which won an award for Best Spiritual Fiction in 2018.
By the time she was writing her third novel in 2019, Estelle found a lump and was subsequently diagnosed with ER-positive breast cancer. After removing her breast along with four tumours, another was found in her lymph nodes, so she had further surgery. While Estelle counts herself lucky as she did not have chemotherapy, breast cancer has left her with Axillary Web Syndrome (cording) and lymphedema. 
While recovering, she decided her third book needed temporarily shelving and began another. The Killing of Tracey Titmass is based on Estelle's cancer experience. Jo, the main character, has named her tumour Tracey who manifests into human form that only Jo can see. 
Estelle now continues to write and is a partner in TAUK Publishing, an assisted publisher who help authors self-publish.
Estelle said about her fighting cancer, 'I had to survive if only to watch the second series of Derry Girls.'
