Hilary Lloyd lives on a smallholding in Shropshire, dividing her time between a small flock of sheep, growing vegetables, and writing. Once a teacher, she much prefers the great outdoors to stuffy classrooms but is equally content sitting at a window writing or breaking her back digging, upending sheep and hauling bales of straw. A recent bequest allowed her to indulge a long-held dream of owning a shabby Land Rover. That it lets her snoop over hedges while driving is almost as important to her as its capacity for rough tracks and hefty loads.

She has had short stories published in women’s magazines and in small press magazines, and has won or been placed in several writing competitions. Though she has two unpublishable novels lurking in a cupboard, she looks on them with some appreciation knowing they were excellent training grounds.
