Roger Frederick - online fiction by the alternative British author

Dale Tyler was born in 1979 in Leicester. When not writing novels, Dale pays the bills with freelance magazine writing, and is studying to become a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist.

She lived in France for two years, until the allure of KFC, decent conversation, and real proper pubs became too much and she returned to the homeland. She now enjoys an often surreal life with her friends and family, listening to old skool dad rock like Led Zep and AC/DC, going to pub quizzes and trying to beat her brother Mitchell on Singstar.

Dale started writing at 16, and published No Big Deal in 2005. Out of the Picture is her second novel. She chose to become an author due to a lack of books for women who aren’t into romance, weddings and babies. One too many formulaic chick-lit novels pushed her to decide that if she wanted a job doing, she’d do it herself. She now wants the world to see that you don’t have to look like a librarian and wear tweed and elbow patches to be an author.

Dale lists friends, family, and being ‘a little bit rockstar’ as her biggest inspirations.
