Maria Donovan is a British author writing short fiction and novels as well as factual content related to research interests in people, history, place, medicine and science, writing craft and the publishing process.
Maria's writing is informed by her experiences as a nurse, traveller, musician and performer and as a university lecturer (how did that happen?) as well as insights into the human condition from her own slightly strange perspective.
She loves languages, particularly English, and is fluent in Dutch, fairly good in French, able to understand quite a bit of German, familiar but hesitant with Italian and Spanish and, just now, learning to speak Cymraeg - the language of Wales.
