She shares her writing space with her aged cat, who is determined to break the world's oldest feline record, and a dog who is terrified of the cat. She enjoys taking photos of the sunrise-if she wakes up in time-and loves to encourage native wildlife and birds into her garden. https: //paulineyates.com/
