Mary was a 'free thinker', a compass influenced by a million distracting metal parts. Her needle veered haphazardly, pointing to nowhere in particular.

Produktbeschreibung
Mary was a 'free thinker', a compass influenced by a million distracting metal parts. Her needle veered haphazardly, pointing to nowhere in particular. But on 23rd April 1978, at around two minutes past five, she found the magnetic North - and went from nowhere to God in 30 seconds. The sometimes funny, sometimes spectacular and often moving events that followed have been shaping her life ever since. Those events are still happening and, 30 years later, she is still amazed. Mary Frances was brought up in Nottingham, the youngest of seven children. She came to Bristol in 1961 with her husband, was divorced in 1990 and moved to North Somerset. Sadly, he died in 2008, but their two sons still live in Bristol, both involved in the music industry. Until recently a local correspondent and feature writer with her local newspaper, she now devotes herself entirely to writing books.
Autorenporträt
Mary Frances was brought up in Nottingham but moved to Bristol in 1961 with her librarian husband. Going from temp job to tempt job for 'cash on a Friday', with intervals as a portrait artist, running her own Art & Design company, a Bristol City Councillor and, finally, as a qualified journalist with a college diploma and a National Award, she at last resigned from her role as reporter and feature writer in order to do what she had dreamed of doing all her life: Write books. The Wings of Woolcot is her fifth, but she assures everyone that there is no question of her giving up doing what she loves. She has two sons, both living in Bristol, one a college lecturer in song writing and the other as an NHS support assistant in a psychiatric hospital. They are both deeply involved and successful in the music industry.
