I have been writing since I was eight; making my own little books out of folded bits of paper and then scribbling my stories (heavily influenced at the time, if I remember, by The Borrowers).Fast forward a few decades and I'm now in my middle years with the four children finally out of the house - it's just me and my husband. I have been published professionally on financial matters and my short story, 'The Serpent and the Flute", recently published.I've finally ditched the nine-to-five and currently spend blissful hours in other worlds.
