Über den Autor
Although Colette Victor has been living in Belgium since 2001, in heart and marrow she's a South African. As a community worker in a disadvantaged ex-mining community in Genk, she works with an array of people from a range of ethnic and social backgrounds. What To Do With Lobsters In A Place Like Klippiesfontein is her second published novel. Head over Heart, a YA novel, was published in 2014. She's currently hard at work on the next one, also for adults. When she's not working, writing or being a mum, she promotes reading for young children and teaches creative writing to people from disadvantaged backgrounds.
