Biography:
In the past, my jobs have included teaching, managing a school library service, working as an information resources officer and a freelance historical researcher, but in real life I am a writer, a parent and, more lately, a grannie. I grew up in Edinburgh but spent many years in London, mostly trying to get back to Scotland. I live now in a small town on the Firth of Forth and spend a lot of time staring at the sea thinking very deep thoughts.
About writer's events and projects:
I can read excerpts and can offer some simple writing exercises for children. I also do a powerpoint presentation on the first major Scottish witch hunt.
