My blog: Unfolding stories from a scottish life
Welcome to my personal corner, where I share insights from my life in Scotland, my professional journey, and the inspirations behind my books. Discover thoughts on identity, belonging, and how extraordinary tales can be found in the most ordinary moments. Join me as we explore the hidden truths together.
Life in the heart of scotland
From the bustling streets of Edinburgh to the tranquil glens, my life in Scotland with my husband, children, and mother-in-law is a constant source of inspiration. I love exploring the rugged beauty of the Scottish countryside with my two beloved Labradors, finding peace and inspiration in every walk.
Exploring identity and belonging
As an adopted child, questions of identity and belonging have always resonated deeply with me. These themes are not only central to my personal story but also profoundly influence my writing. As a Disability and Inclusion Adviser at an Edinburgh university, I see how these concepts play out in diverse lives daily. My blog delves into these complex, yet universal, human experiences.
Stories for the soul: joy and heartache
My writing, and indeed my blog, is for those who appreciate a happy ending, even after navigating the complexities of life. If you enjoy the powerful mix of joy and heartache found in shows like 'Long Lost Families', you'll find a kindred spirit here. I aim to encourage readers to look beyond the surface, to uncover hidden truths, and to recognise that even the most ordinary lives can hold extraordinary stories.
