Lorna Sixsmith

Lorna Sixsmith is an Irish dairy farmer and award-winning author. You'll find her in one of her woman caves - her calf shed or writing room, her dog Lou by her side. When not ambling after cows or feeding calves, she's writing about farming. Her first novel, Country Girl at Heart, follows Kelly's adventures as she escapes to a 'rural retreat' but a matriarchal goat, inquisitive neighbours and escaping cows put paid to that idea. Would You Marry a Farmer, How to be a Perfect Farm Wife and An Ideal Farm Husband show you what life is really like on a farm, the nuts and bolts, warts and all. Her memoir, Till the Cows Come Home, covers three generations of family life and many generations of the animals on their farm.
