Fiona was the winner of the Federation of Writers (Scotland) short story competition 2023. She studied primary education at Edinburgh University, graduating with honours in 1996. As soon as she graduated, she packed everything she owned into her Renault 11, including her daughter, two dogs and a cat, and headed off to Estonia to become an international school teacher. After fifteen years of teaching, predominantly in Eastern Europe, she became ill and had to return home. Not one to remain idle, she turned to the Open University where she studied creative writing, completing both courses with distinction, and discovering a new passion. She finds it difficult to be content without a work in progress. That escape into a world of her own making is something very special! Her latest book, Before the Swallows Come Back, was sparked by a meeting she had with a Tinker family many years ago, in rural Perthshire. They invited her to sit by their fire, outside their bender, and listen to stories. It was fascinating, inspirational and never left her. The conservation of natural habitats and their wildlife is hugely important to her and the Tinkers, and their way of life seemed to lend themselves to carrying this theme. She lives on the east coast of Scotland and has written four books under the pen name of F J Curlew. She has now reverted to using her given name. Her writing has been described as, "Human experience impacted upon by political situation, interwoven with a love of nature."
