TheWitch Bee Series 
 

Amongst other qualifications, I have a Post Graduate Degree in Homeopathy. This has been beneficial in creating my hedgerow witches.

Years ago, I wrote a regular full length double page feature in Our Cat’s Newspaper .

If I was asked to describe myself, I would say, I’m just a girl from Salford who speaks her mind and can tell a good tale.

     I am very proud to say I was born in Salford, Lancashire.  Why proud? - Because Salford people are honest, funny and the most genuine people in the world.

After a lifetime of moving several times around the world. I finally settled in Astley, which is in the borough of Wigan with a Manchester postcode. I know you couldn’t write it lol. 

     As a ten-year child I was involved in a very bad road traffic accident, on Littleton Road, Salford, culminating in multiple broken bones. My right ear was stitched back on and the worst was a serious brain injury. My parents were told if I ever regained consciousness I would be a cabbage – their exact words. After being in a coma for fourteen weeks, I did wake up and started to recover. I had to learn to walk again and suffered bouts of fainting for several years. During my recovery period, I couldn’t hold a pen or a cup, my brain wasn’t sending the right messages. All I could do was read, my brother and sister would take it in turn to hold a book and turn the pages when my eyes gave the indication.

The brain is a miracle all on its own and I did recover. I told my mum at the time “When I am a big girl, I want to write books for adults to enjoy and pass down to their children.” I am so pleased that finally I have achieved that goal, after a life time of working 🙂

I have worked mainly in office / management.

For many years we showed pedigree Siamese and British Shorthair cats, in GCCF Cat Shows, all over the UK. Until sadly I lost my husband, John Duffy in 2014. Cat shows were a hobby we shared. It wasn’t the same without John and I retired but kept in touch with many cat showing friends.
