Mandasue Heller.

Mandasue Heller was born in Warrington, Cheshire.

Mandasue Heller is a year-old, softly spoken, rather shy, slightly insecure grandmother who spends her nights singing and her days writing about crime.

Mandasue has fronted various soul, country, jazz, blues, and rock bands.

Write an introductory letter, and send it to your chosen agent(s) along with a brief synopsis of the storyline (one A4 page should be enough), and the first 3 chapters of your book. Send by Special Delivery so you know it reached them, then wait.
