She is a creative writing lecturer at Cardiff University and a screenwriter for the BBC\/S4C thrillers Hinterland and Hidden.<\/p>\n

Ms Lewis lives on a farm on the outskirts of Aberystwyth in Ceredigion and studied at Durham and Aberystwyth universities. <\/p>\n

Her breakthrough novel Martha, Jac a Sianco is widely regarded as a modern classic of Welsh literature, with the film adaptation winning six Welsh BAFTAs.<\/p>\n
