I've earned my living in journalism, public relations, publishing and teaching piano. I've had four books published and won two book awards, have an MA in scriptwriting. I love cats, mosaics, art, the ukulele, walking in the country and by the sea and being quiet. Have lived and worked in Paris where Mr Shakespeare's was a favourite haunt.
