Nina Milton

Set on the Somerset moors, the Shaman Mysteries feature Sabbie Dare, a therapeutic shaman who visits her shamanic otherworld in order to fight the dark side of human nature. But the otherworld rarely gives a direct answer – any shaman knows that. When Sabbie finally unravels the tangle of symbols and augurys her spirit world shows her, she’s never presented with a simple answer. Instead, she’s led to the place or moment where those answers will be best revealed. Unfortunately for Sabbie, those are always the places of most danger. Sabbie knows this, but walks towards them anyway, because she’s passionate for her clients, and for justice – and she can’t help being insatiably curious!

Nina Milton, author of the Shaman Mysteries has been writing fiction since her reception teacher, Mrs Marsden, put a paper and pencil in front of her. "I can remember thinking; What? Do real people write these lovely books? I want to do that!" Nina Milton gained an MA in creating writing at Bath Spa University and her first books were for children; Sweet'n'Sour, (HarperCollins) and Just my Luck, both available from Amazon. She is also a prize-winning writer of short stories.

Milton admits that the idea for In the Moors came to her one day in the guise of Sabbbie Dare, who arrived fully formed and said; "I'm a young therapist, a shaman, and sometimes I do get very strange people walking into my therapy room. Honestly, I could write a book about some of them...

Milton is a druid. She says,"My pagan path takes me close to the earth and into the deep recesses of my mind. Shamanic techniques help me in my life - in fact they changed my life - although, unlike Sabbie, I've never set up a therapeutic practice...I'm too busy writing and teaching creative writing – I'm a fellow of the Higher Education Academy."

Although born and educated in the West Country, she now lives in west Wales with her husband James.
