Autorenporträt
Patricia Dolling-Mann was born in Northampton and started working at the local newspaper office with a view to becoming a journalist. After a short time she realised her vocation was to nurse. Early retirement from the nursing profession has given her time to fulfil her lifelong ambition to write. After gaining an honor's degree in English Literature with the Open University she has since devoted many hours to writing. A passion for the writings of Thomas Hardy prompted her and her husband to move to Dorset. Although now living in the South East of England, a library of Hardy-related works keeps her in touch with her beloved Wessex.
