Morag is a Geordie at heart, despite having lived in Suffolk since 1979. She worked for the Civil Service, before becoming a library assistant, having always loved books and reading. Twenty years later, she became a veterinary receptionist, whilst still working part time at the library, thus combining her love of animals and books. She won her first writing competition in 1982 and her prize, a word-processor, made the whole business of writing much easier than on a manual typewriter. She progressed from writing short stories for magazines, to novel writing, and her first romantic novel, A Love Betrayed, was published in 1990 by Robert Hale Ltd for their Rainbow Romance series. Morag describes herself as a people watcher, and characters and relationships feature heavily in her stories. Her love of animals, and horses in particular, inspired her to write her next novel, a comedy romance based on the theme of Cinderella, but set in a riding school. Green Wellies and Wax Jackets was closely followed by the sequel, Muddy Boots and Mishaps, telling the story of Vanessa, one of the sisters. The last book in the series, Mending Hearts and Pastures New, follows Caroline’s story, and received a RED RIBBON Highly Recommended Award, in the 2024 Wishing Shelf Book Awards. The books are all stand alone novels, featuring different characters from the same family. ‘Cinderella’ may have found her ‘prince,’ but Morag wanted to find out what happened to the two ‘ugly stepsisters’. She had great fun writing their stories, showing even the worst person can have some redeeming features, and love changes everything. She wrote the Coach Trip because she wanted to write a romance about second time round relationships, especially with older people. It seemed to hit the right note with readers, and she plans to continue this theme in her next novel.
