P. R. Morrison

P.R. Morrison was born and brought up in the Orkney Islands, an archipelago of 70 islands situated off the northern tip of Scotland. The dramatic landscape and sea climate of Orkney strongly influenced her writing of The Wind Tamer, her first book. Before becoming a writer, she worked as a secretary in the legal profession; was one of three staff running a community radio station in Orkney; and an administrator at a primary school. She presently lives in London with her husband, Andrew Piddington, the film maker and their two sons.
