Caron Freeborn is a novelist, teacher and education journalist. Her first novel Three Blind Mice (Abacus, 2001) was described in the Independent as 'Brilliantly written in the vernacular'. Her second, Prohibitions (Abacus 2004), was called 'an illuminating narrative on the extremes of human emotions' in The Big Issue. She has just finished her third novel, a re-working of the Medea.

Caron taught English at Cambridge University for many years, specializing in the Tragedy Paper, and more recently has been teaching Creative Writing for the Open University. She also runs public poetry workshops with the poet Elizabeth Speller. The eldest of her two small children has Autism Spectrum Disorder; currently, she is working on a non-fiction account of her relationship with autism.
