Books by Tessa Souter

A runaway at 16, and a single parent by 18, Tessa worked through life's challenges to become a successful sub-editor at Elle UK. Later in life she gave it all up, moved to America and started from scratch in pursuit of a dream to become a writer, supporting herself by cleaning houses for two years. Joining the Writers' Grotto in San Francisco, Tessa eventually established herself as a respected international journalist working for the world's leading publications. A life-long desire to sing, however, prompted relocation to New York in 1996 and a third successful career that began with a scholarship to the Manhattan School of Music. Jazz legend Mark Murphy said of her: 'She's my next star.' Part of Tessa's personal story has been featured in British Vogue. Anything I Can Do...You Can Do Better, her first book, will be serialised in You magazine.
