Fay Knowles

Fay Knowles is a Scottish-born author who made The Bahamas her home many years ago. She has been writing since the age of nine, penned a children’s adventure book at eleven and won a school essay competition at age fifteen.

After leaving school at sixteen, she trained in Devon, England, as a secretary, then newspaper reporter. At the age of twenty she set off to “work her way around the world”, first emigrating by ship to Canada. She worked as an editorial assistant for the former "Canadian Food Journal" and "Gift Buyer", Toronto. And then, to avoid a Canadian winter and to seek sunnier climes, she took a Greyhound coach down across the U.S. from Toronto to Miami, en route for The Bahamas. She met her future husband Erskine in Nassau a month after that and they were married the following year. She jokes: “I never did travel the world!”

As well as getting by-lines in British and Bahamian newspapers, Fay’s articles have appeared in "Westward News" (a former in house publication of British Telecom), the "Kennel Gazette" (official journal of the British Kennel Club), "Christian Herald", and "Sports Magazine Bahamas". She has Diplomas in Novel Writing from Writer’s Digest School and in Short Story Writing from International Correspondence School.

Her writing assignments have included articles for Bahamas Information Services, travel writing for Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, and as a photo journalist for a local mall, Nassau, Bahamas. She once worked as a “temp” for the late Sir Etienne Dupuch, former Publisher/Editor of "The Tribune", Nassau, transcribing his long, captivating editorials.

Fay’s short stories have been published in "The Lady" magazine, London, England, and "The Broadkill Review", Delaware, U.S.A.; with poetry in the U.K. magazine "Evergreen".

Most of her short stories in "Sunbeams from the Heart - A Collection of Twelve Romantic Short Stories" were first published in "The Lady" or "The Broadkill Review". The author drew on her Scottish background and knowledge of The Bahamas when writing her romantic suspense novel "Dangerous Devotion" (formerly "Love at Sunset") - Buchanan Mystery Romance Series Book One. And her mini-memoir "The Scottish Connection" tells of her journey back to Scotland with her mother and young sons to revisit their Scottish roots. Her fourth book is “How to Be the Best Writer Ever! - An informal guide and source of inspiration for new and not so new writers worldwide". The fifth - "Moonbeams from the Soul - A Collection of Fourteen Provocative Short Stories". And her sixth - "Deadly Deceit in Paradise" - Buchanan Mystery Romance Series Book Two.
