Rosemary Sturge

Biography

I've been making up stories since I was a child, in fact my parents thought I would grow up to be a novelist, because I used to climb into their bed on Saturday mornings, aged three, and entertain them with long sagas about the adventures of my toys. My teachers were less impressed with my talent for fiction, probably because I wanted to write stories when they were looking for evidence that I understood facts. Most of my adult life has been devoted to practical things, teaching, organising people, being sensible, but now at last I have time to persue my interest in writing historical fiction.
