Doreen Ann Ellison

Now retired, I am concentrating on writing books for young people from five to ninety-five, to bring some 'magic' into their lives.
Writing has always been a part of my varied career, e.g., I wrote a women's fashion page for a newspaper; I have had poems published in five anthologies. I have written technical documents, training manuals, and performance poetry for which I ran a workshop at Caerleon Summer Writers School. I have also written poetry, short stories and plays.
My interests are many, including reading, watercolour painting, pencil portraiture, theatre, cinema, socialising and Scrabble. I was in the Chair of the Warrington U3A for four years and am a founder member of the Mature Broadcasters Association, having my own slot on Radio Warrington. I love to travel the world and am an avid reader.
Divorced then widowed, I now live in a retirement apartment, have two adult children and one adored grandson.
