Autor/-in: Mary Weeks Millard

Writing is the career of my old age - in my working life I was a nurse/midwife. Most of my books are adventure stories with a Christian message for primary aged school children and young teens. Maybe because I am approaching my second childhood I love children's adventures. I also write biography - and I love hearing peoples' stories. I am married to Malcolm, who is a retired Maths teacher and Anglican Minister. We live at Weymouth, a lovely sea side town in Dorset - which was my birthplace. I have three adult children from my first marriage to Philip Weeks ( now deceased); all of whom are married and have brought five wonderful grandchildren into the family. My hobbies are (besides spoiling the grandchildren. ) exploring Dorset countryside; watercolour painting; making textile crafts and relaxing with a good book. I love Africa and have lived in Uganda and the Congo and also visited The Gambia, Burundi and Rwanda many times over the past fifteen years.
