My mother taught me to read before I started school and love of the written word has remained with me ever since. I was an avid writer from an early age, writing long winded saga type prose, usually set in the past. I left school, and with a brief period at college went on to work in an office where I learned to type and make coffee! Thereafter my magnificent career in writing was hindered by jobs as varied as working for the Forestry Commission in Scotland, to a psychiatric hospital, pub landlady and selling flowers from a handcart! After having a family I began writing again in earnest. Now, I find it a fairly essential part of my well-being.
