I've lived in South Yorkshire all my life, except when I left home for three years to study History at the University of East Anglia. For the last 32 years I have taught History to 11-18 year olds and, during this time, I've enjoyed telling many stories to make the past and its people come alive. I have always been passionate about this subject and enjoy passing on my enthusiasm to many young people. 

 

I have been married to George, an engineer, for 33 years - and we have one daughter, Helen, who is a doctor. I have many hobbies which include singing in my local choir and doing voluntary work in a local historical home.

 

The Future

 

I have already started planning my next book. It is still on the tree theme and is based on a big oak tree in my garden..... but I won’t reveal the plot – that would be telling!  You’ll just have to wait and see what it’s all about….

 

 

 

Here is an interview that I have had with Radio Sheffield
