Autorenporträt

Isabella Bleszynski, author. Born in a small fishing village in the north-east of Scotland, 'the descendant of sea-farers, Jacobites and others of that ilk', she has absolutely no doubt that her later sense of adventure was fostered by her sea-faring Macpherson grandfather, the great storyteller and historian of her young life. A few years after entering the teaching profession, she took up a contract with the Ministry of Overseas Development, London and left for Ndola, Zambia with her sons, then aged 6 and 4. Several years later she moved to Lilongwe, Malawi, a country with strong historical links to her native land. Her final tour in Africa took her north, to Libya where she worked for Sirte Oil Company in Marsa el Brega. The year after the US bombing of Tripoli and Benghazi, she finally returned to Scotland, almost 25 years later. Isabella now writes full time. She has two sons, four grandchildren and spends part of each year in Australia. 'For better or for worse - Scotland and Africa were the two great continuums of my life, Whatever I've written so far, or will write in the future, these places will no doubt continue to be both my source and my inspiration.'
