WALKING WOMAN
I write both fiction and non-fiction, with
historical research forming a large part of most of my
projects. I’ve travelled all over Brittany in recent
years for my guide book to Finistere (Things to see and do at
the End of the World), Discovering the History of Brittany and
a guide to the Nantes-Brest Canal. Generally my interests are
in travel, history and identity in the context of non-fiction,
and every day magic in my two novels Moon Garden and The Five
of Cups.
I am currently writing a travelogue, The
Long Thought, about my experiences of walking the 365km canal
over the period of a year. The themes are a search for
identity, the history of Brittany and the psychology of
walking.
My project for publication in 2008 is a
coastal walking book, covering Finistere from Morlaix to
Benodet.
I’ve written articles on many
subjects including local history, French property, Brittany,
living abroad, walking, Feng Shui, tarot and paganism.
I also teach writing and act as a
consultant for those keen to develop their existing work.
I’ll be offering a new course on Walking and Writing in
2008.
My other activities include running the
Brittany Walks Association, promoting the history and landscape
of Brittany.
Latest publications

Coast of Brittany.
