While I was on maternity leave I became obsessed with the idea of getting a book published. I'd had this idea kicking around for a while, before we had Amber. We'd tried for a long time to get pregnant, and I wanted to write about that. Then I started seeing magpies everywhere I went, I remembered the rhyme - one for sorrow...and decided that there must be a story in there somewhere. Anyway, I bought a book about magpies and within it, it said that magies were considered to have shamanic properties....then I bought a book about shaman.
The result is A Magpie's Tale, my first novel.
