Helen Gavin

I am now retired from being a lecturer at a Yorkshire university, but continue to write - it's a bad habit. I have always examined the dark side of life, making people regret looking over my shoulder to see what I am reading, or, indeed, writing. We live in a village where, when it's not foggy, raining, snowing, or generally inclement, the view is magnificent. One husband, one stepson, and several (male) cats means being starved of female company, one of the very good reasons to continue to make music.
