Cindy Jefferies (born 1951) is a UK children's writer with sixteen books in print.
She is best known for her series Fame School[1] (Usborne Publishing) about a group of children who are singing, playing and dancing their way to success in the music industry.
This very English approach to the subject found a wide and enthusiastic audience, and has so far (2010) been translated into 15 languages.
Jefferies was born in 1951 in Cirencester, Gloucestershire, and after some years in Scotland she returned to the county, where she still lives and continues to write for children.
Jefferies' first book, Sebastian's Quest, was a fantasy based on the ancient stone circle at Avebury in Wiltshire.
