| Introduction | Born in England, the author grew up near the small Hamlet that evolved into the world-famous shipping port of Liverpool. She holds a deep affection for her city, captivated by the way the River, often calm as a silver ribbon in sunlight, travels out to the sea. Her professional life was rooted in medicine. She was a nurse who also worked in a medical practice. Parallel to her clinical career, she pursued studies in magic, later progressing to the healing arts of Herbalism and Homeopathy. Writing was a dream she had put on the back burner, prioritizing the care of her mother. While her mother lay in a hospital bed, being treated for pneumonia, she began to write Ripples of Blaine. Tragically, only a few days later, she found herself alone; her mother had slipped away. Grief became caged by the necessary arrangements for a final send-off. She found solace in her second home in Durham, where secret pathways lead to quiet pools and ducks become the companions one never knew one needed. Tears, she found, were healers. A naturally private person, the author safeguards her family and therefore keeps her personal identity protected. |
