A bit about Fiona Seymour...
I was inspired to write Distant Relatives after I made the unexpected decision to go to university. I took the risk, walked away from regular money and had no idea how things would turn out in the end. Luckily it all went well. Although Distant Relatives is fiction, the main character is loosely based on me (my middle name is Claire). I wanted to explore two things: 1) How making an out of the blue decision that you're not quite sure about can sometimes be the best thing you've ever done and 2) How failure to communicate feelings can lead to all sorts of trouble further down the line. In this case it has affected three generations of the same family. If they had all told one another what they really felt, then they wouldn't have been Distant Relatives.
I’m 30 years old and live in the UK. I've been writing creatively since the tender age of 12. I’m a fully-qualified librarian and copywriter and currently work as a freelancer writer (www.sjcopy.co.uk) and PR assistant for the crafts industry. I have written for many businesses so feel free to visit my website and take a look!
I have a great love of Italy, and was married there in Florence in 2005. In my spare time I love reading, travelling, good food and of course writing!
