You’re about to take an adventure through the path of a life well lived!

Muriel Arnold was brought up on a farm in Lincolnshire, educated at Barrowby School and Grantham Technical College and then she had to earn a living. She was Secretary/Translator for Marconi Espanola in Madrid and formed part of a secretarial team with Esso Standard Libya at an outpost in The Sahara. She joined the sea-going staff of Cunard, promoted to Senior Assistant Purser, Queen Mary, then Social Secretary Queen Elizabeth 2 for World Cruises. Addicted to writing from an early age she listened to her father, aunts and uncles and wrote her first novel, The Run of Time, followed by its sequel, The Triumph of Deceit. After leaving Cunard and unable to swallow the anchor she travelled to the west coast of South America to explore the ancient sites of the Inca and pre-Columbian civilisations. Her latest book, Swallow the Anchor, is a novel of love and loss on a cargo ship, long after the Inca Empire had been conquered.
