Autorenporträt

Nuala Boyle aka Mummy Clifford became a mother to Cara at the age of 39 and then to Lochlann at the age of 41. As a mother to two very young children who never slept, Nuala spent night after night walking the hallways of her home trying to nurse her babies to sleep. Whilst she was pacing, she reflected on delightful and often humorous incidents that had happened that day and she decided to write them down. From these scribbles, the Don't Be Bold series of uplifting children's stories emerged. The Don't Be Bold series of books are Nuala's first venture into the world of children's publications, but she is not new to writing. Nuala's career is in education management and whilst she is more used to writing reports, service guides, student handbooks, penning responses to ministers' questions and writing press releases, she finds authoring children's stories a delightful diversion and is keen to explore where it might take her.
