Tell us aboot yersel or yer ootfit.<\/strong>
\nAs fer masel, I am a non-Scots speaking New Yorker who came to these shores 30 years ago and so far have not regretted it. I’m a mother, psychotherapist, writer, artist, gardener, lover of beauty and living things, fairly suited to life in Edinburgh, save for the dreich, which is still a bit of a challenge.<\/p>\n

Whit wis it got ye involvit wi the Scots leid?<\/strong>
\nNeeps and Tatties was inspired by my grief at learning of the sad sectarianism in Scotland and my wish to tell a tale of healing. When I started to write it I was possessed by an unexpected, rollicking, rhyming Scots spirit, helped by a Scots dictionary and thesaurus and eventually by James Robertson. How could a story called Neeps and Tatties NOT be written in Scots? I had to give it a go.<\/p>\n

Ony particlar career heighlichts<\/strong>
\nMy long and varied career has been full of glorious heighlichts, mostly private moments of human healing, with a few somewhat public thrills. Nil by Mouth bringing out Neeps and Tatties has been a great one, as they are doing such beautiful work with it, teaching kids about prejudice and sectarianism, helping them break down the walls that divide us- just what it was meant for! “Jist whit the Haggis had ayewis been hopin!”<\/p>\n

Wha’s yer plans fir the days aheid?<\/strong>
\nI’m planning to soak up whatever warmth and sun is left in the season and then invest in some good rain gear.<\/p>\n
