About this author

I left school with the careers advice "Well, you're going to do Maths at University aren't you?". And then what?

Well, I tried a lot of things to find out what I should be doing. Eventually I retrained and found I loved working in environmental research, where I could write loads of interesting reports, articles and papers.

And then I settled down a bit more, got my guinea pigs for company and found I had characters with stories that needed to be told. I started writing at last. The Princelings of the East, first the trilogy, then a prequel, then another...

So this is probably my fifth career.

The moral of the story is... follow your star, it's never too late, even if it doesn't quite happen as you expect.

Strange. I'm having trouble getting my blog to do something at the moment. Maybe it's somethng in the air!
I spotted your mention of guinea pigs, so I thought I MUST contact you! They inspired my books. Victor will be 5 next week - he's my oldest.
Have fun!

Patricia Puddle I tried "Liking your quote Jemima, but it won't let me. I was able to like the others. Weird.

Patricia Puddle Hi Jemima, thanks for the friendship. :) I love your name!! Oh, and you must be a lovely person because you have guinea pigs. I love those little souls and had three. We had them for ten years, but sadly, they have now gone over the rainbow bridge. So upsetting I adored those little guys. Our forever babies brought so much joy, then sadness of their departure.

Jemima Pett You too, SW! Liked some of your book choices too :)
