about me

Corinna Turner was born in the Cotswolds and having gained a degree in English Language and Literature from Oxford university, she delights in baffling everyone by working mornings on a farm, and writing in the afternoons.
She is also a professional lamber (midwife to sheep) and gets little writing done around Easter-time, when she is more likely to have her hand up a ewe!

She has been writing since she was fourteen and is beginning to lose count of her novels; she hopes that all this practise may eventually lead to professional publication!
