Margaret Duffy

Margaret’s grandfather was Czech and she supposes that writing is in her blood. That nation has a tradition of story-telling and she can remember him telling her creepy stories that always seemed to involve dark castle corridors, the only lighting being candles that suddenly blew out.

A career in the Civil Service followed and then the Ministry of Defence in Bath. That lovely city is used as a setting for some of her novels. She now lives in Evesham in a house overlooking the River Avon.

She read somewhere that those with an urge to write create the books they can’t find to read. She started by writing Science Fiction. Then it was really in the hands of acclaimed American authors and publishers were not interested in a tale, THE KILLING MIND, about a prison satellite where the inmates were kept in check with mind control.

She kept on writing and there are now twenty nine novels.
