This is TaTa's friend Eroica - what a special name. All you classical music lovers will know it is Symphony Number 3 by Beethoven. Her name is Latin for 'heroic' and she is. She has spent 13 years fighting Tesco from getting into the town. She is also a writer and columnist and has just come back from Senegal. I like her.
Eroica grew up in Cameroon, Libya and Senegal and came to Great Britain when she was in her early teens. She has worked and lived in Paris, Milan and London, as a catwalk model and then as a fashion stylist and also in the advertising/film industry. She has written comedy for Radio 4’s 'Weekending' and 'Spitting Image' and was a runner-up in the Lloyds Bank/Oxford Film Foundation Screenwriting Competition with her first film script. She has published two novels 'Lucker and Tiffany Peel Out' and 'Home To Angel Cake' to excellent critical reviews. Various short stories have been published both here and abroad. She did a Creative Writing degree at the University of East Anglia and graduated in 2000. Writing ambitions were suspended for a few years whilst she brought up her young son, but she is now firmly back in the saddle! Eroica is currently writing a regular weekly column for The Telegraph called 'Notes from a Norfolk Broad' for readers both home and abroad, available online at www.telegraph.co.uk in. She also writes regular features on all aspects of Norfolk life for North Norfolk Living Magazine.
Eroica has also written two other novels and is now looking for a publisher. . .
