I live in North East Scotland, although my heart is often in the West Highlands. The rest of me spends as much time there as it can.

​

I studied medieval French literature to doctoral level and worked as a Teaching Fellow at Aberdeen University, before retraining as a Modern Languages teacher. I’ve always loved words, and the doors they open.

​

When I’m not fully occupied keeping my two beautiful children alive and well, I am mostly reading, writing and riding my feisty Arab horse. I also perform alongside my talented sister in law singing Scottish Traditional music.
