Chloë Rayban (a.k.a Carolyn Bear) is a writer with her finger truly on the pulse of teenage life today. Praise for her novels has come from such diverse quarters as School Librarian, The Guardian and Attitude magazine.

Her novel LOVE IN CYBERIA was shortlisted for both The Guardian Award and the Carnegie Medal and VIRTUAL SEXUAL REALITY was runner up for The Guardian Award and was made into the film Virtual Sexuality.

Formerly an advertising copywriter, she now writes full-time and divides her time between a beautiful 18th century French manoir and an Italian farmhouse in Piedmont.

Her latest teen novel is MWAH MWAH, published by Bloomsbury.
