A favourite mantra of mine is that no person should be defined by what they do, so while describing myself as an author, editor, historical researcher and lifelong student might be true, it’s a description that doesn’t capture the whole of me.

Read any of my stories and you will soon detect my fascination with the recent past, which is where the researcher and student parts of my nature go hand in hand, leading to two MAs – one in writing, the other in contemporary

Flashes of Doubt

Some say it was during the 1960s that the idea of ‘the generation gap’ entered into popular usage.

Quotes by Isabella Muir (?)

“I’d arrived in their lives seeing nothing but fun, excitement, a problem-free existence where they could please themselves. I felt embarrassed by how blinkered I had been.
