Mandy Payne

My name is Mandy Payne and I live in Derbyshire, England with my husband and sprocker Spaniel Harley.

I have 2 grown up children whom I am lucky to be able to see regularly and each live happy contented lives with their partners.

I am now retired and my husband retires as a Firefighter in 2024. We are planning on travelling more and seeing places we have never manage to before now due to work, children and well.... life!

I have always been a puzzle enthusiast as I hate being idle and am constantly keen to use my brain.

I was introduced to Sudoko about 10 years ago and I'll be honest.... it took me some time to 'get it'!!

Once I did, I was hooked.

Mindfulness is something I practice everyday.. not so musch as a conscious decision, it's embedded as a habit now and something I will always do.

I decided to create puzzle books and color books as I have a strong affinity with both and they have given me much needed 'Brain Space' over the years.

The Sudoku also helps me to check that my logic and reasoning skills are still good too!

I hope my readers find the same pleasure from my books that I have found creating them.
