About the Author
Florence Gillan is a retired teacher who lives outside Newry in the rolling hills of County Down with her husband Eugene, two dogs Honey and Rua and a cat with no name. She spends much of her time in her native Sligo in the foothills of Benbulben. She has had a lifelong passion for writing since penning her first novel, Trageties in France, at the age of nine.
