After years spent writing fiction, plays, memoir, gardening books and newspaper columns, I became a grandmother, a very involved grandmother. Now life is a discontinuous narrative. Time for writing is unpredictable and starts with clearing clutter off the dining room table. Increasingly I spend my non-family time teaching others what I have learnt about writing and the publishing industry. And in my own writing life I have turned to poetry to express my new self. I think of the poems as small wild animals I have captured for a few moments in my hands and then released. Read some of my work here on her blog.
I continue to write for children, and articles for magazines. My most recent book is called Grandparents Talk, based on a series of interviews, published by David Bateman Ltd, examining the role of grandparents in our diverse and busy society.
