The author is a long-time community worker and short-time novelist. Following encouragement from her creative writing tutor she decided to put some tales of "mature" love, life, work and laughter down in print. The result is the "Don't Forget..." series. The books are set in the Athens of the North - otherwise known as Edinburgh. Beyond writing, she enjoys runnning, live music gigs, hill walking, comedy nights, chilling with her grown up kids and travelling with her friends. As a former social science lecturer she also maintains a lively interest in sociology and current affairs.
