An author from Norfolk is being tipped for literary stardom with her first novel predicted to be the summer best-seller.

Emma Healey's book, 'Elizabeth is Missing', had its national launch in Norwich last night.

Nine publishers fought to sign her and the TV rights have already been sold.

"It's been absolutely mad," Emma told ITV News Anglia.

"Part of the way of coping is just to not really quite believe it, so I keep thinking everything is suddenly going to go wrong and that keeps me grounded.

"But also, it's like a dream come true."
