Living on an island makes one think differently, says Judith C Davis, whose Manx ancestry reaches back to sixteenth century Mann. Our island emblem, the three legs, and its motto: 'whichever way you throw us, we will stand,' gives a good idea of the Manx nature. Surrounded by sea an islander learns to be prudent, patient and, hopefully, self sufficient.Constantly inspired by the rugged beauty of Mann much of Judith's writing has been influenced by its history and landscapes as well as the often curmudgeonly humour of the Manx people.
Her new novel, 'Death at the Mooragh' is available from Amazon in print and as an e-book. Short stories. 'Climbing to Cregneash' and, 'Rattling to Ramsey.' are still available as e-books.
