I have taught English, Creative, Academic and Business Writing from High School to PhD level. My students have ranged in age from kindergarten to 80 years old, and have come from all sorts of backgrounds, including high school students, refugees and mature age First Nations students. After many years of studying medieval literature and reading historical novels for young adults (Rosemary Sutcliff is my all-time favourite) I have embarked on writing a series of novels set in stone-age Scotland, in Argyll and on the Island of Bute, where I lived as a child.
