Gillian ('Gill') Mather has been a solicitor for several decades and at various times has worked in most of the basic areas covered by general practice in England (crime, family, em-ployment, civil litigation, wills, probate and property). Gill ran a small solicitor's practice from her home near Colchester until 2020. She is a member of several writers' groups in Essex and Suffolk, including Write Now! Some of Gill's novels were previously published under the pen name of Julie Langham.

Gill has published eight full-length novels on Kindle, the first five being a series of romantic-cum-crime novels set in Colchester around a fictional law firm and featuring the same main characters over a number of years. The last book in the series is also a paranormal romance.

As The Clock Struck Ten, a crime/mystery/psychological drama about an accusation of sexual abuse, is the sixth novel. The Unreliable Placebo, a rom-com with a difference, is the seventh novel. And the eighth novel, Class of '97, is a mystery/psychological drama.

There are six books so far in the Roz Benedict Detective Novellas series. Further novellas in the series are planned.
