Abigail is a widow who lives alone in a Cheshire village close to the Pennines, the range of peaks described as "the backbone of England." The settings of her books cover hospital care, general practice, the Port Health Officers of the Manchester Ship Canal, and recently, a remote area of Newfoundland. Also in the pipeline is a book taking readers high into the sky with the helicopter emergency services covering the inner city; as always, there will be a strong romantic background. Ever an avid reader of romance, she began writing some years ago at the suggestion of her sister--already an established author--and once her first book, Joel's Way, was accepted by Mills & Boon she continued to write. A member of a local church, she is heavily involved in its activities and appreciates the fellowship to be found there. She is blessed with three sons. The eldest is a clinical services manager with the NHS, residing near the Lake District, and the other two live close by in the same village as Abigail. They have given her three grandchildren to complete a close-knit family.
