Flitting...

My life has been coloured by a constant urge to 'flit'. I lived and worked in France, America and the Netherlands, moving back to Northern Ireland in time for my thirtieth birthday. Soon after that, a role in senior management in an IT company coincided with my first experience of motherhood, and while it all worked well for a number of years, I realised what many women know — travelling globally doesn't fit well around the school routine! I therefore took the bold step of leaving "thon guid job" when my eldest child was five. A 'portfolio career' of writing and various other creative sector activities keeps me busy now. And that's the short version of how I ended up as Ulster University Writer in Residence, travelling mostly in my imagination.
