Barbara Gaskell Denvil has been a writer all her life. Born in Gloucestershire, England, she soon moved to London and, starting as a literary reviewer and critic for Books and Bookmen, quickly built up a career publishing numerous short stories and articles.
She then spent many hot and colourful years sailing the Mediterranean on a yacht and living in various different countries throughout the region.
When her partner died, she moved to rural Australia where she still lives amongst the parrots and wallabies, writing full time before contemplating an eventual return to England.
