Gwen Kirkwood has been connected to farming all her life so she has used her background, and her love of history and the countryside, in writing twenty two family sagas, and eight shorter novels. She has lived most of her adult life in Scotland but she was born in Yorkshire and went to school there. She married a Scottish dairy farmer and has three children and six grandchildren. When not reading, researching and writing she enjoys gardening and cooking and keeps up to date with her son farming on one side of her and her daughter running a popular farm ice cream parlour on the other.
