  <about><![CDATA[&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v685/shelagh/bookcoverMPFM1.jpg&quot;  /&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Shelagh Watkins&lt;/b&gt; was born in Lancashire, UK and graduated from the University of Leeds before she moved to Scotland, where she completed a course in Information Technology at the University of Glasgow. She has many interests, including artwork, computing, reading and all forms of writing, but she particularly enjoys writing for children. She wrote &lt;i&gt;[book: Mr. Planemaker's Flying Machine]&lt;/i&gt; as a children's novel but there is more to the book than just a story, although readers are left to figure out the underlying philosophy for themselves.
