    About Me: I am very lucky to be living my dream, as ever since I was a little girl I have lived for stories and have wanted to be a writer. After many years of rejection, setbacks, being as poor as a church mouse and general suffering for my art! - I am now a writer. I can honestly say that I have gone through the initiation and grit determination to realize my dream - as nothing else could come near to the feeling of fulfillment that belonging to a story can bring. I am married to artist, Neil Geddes-Ward and we have two children. We live on the remote Scottish island of Westray, Orkney where we run Orkney. Faerie Museum & Gallery

    Likes: Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate...cake of any description. Icelandic horses and Shetland poinies. Sitting by a roaring hot stove when it is pelting it down with rain outside.

    Vices: I winge a lot! I am over critical of myself and sometimes others too. Chocolate. I am a worrier, recluse and I am over sensitive. Loads more...too many to mention. I will do anything to avoid confrontation.
