Eileen Simkiss
Currently living overlooking a reservoir in Stockport, Cheshire, Eileen was grammar school educated and subsequently lived in Switzerland for two years.
She has worked variously as a barmaid, interpreter, secretary to an MP and as a teacher.
Eileen travels extensively, frequently alone, both in Europe and farther afield; Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, Cambodia, Hong Kong, San Francisco and Cuba.
She has had work published in ‘Good Housekeeping’, was winner of a local short story writing competition and has had a poem displayed in Stockport Art Gallery.
Eileen aspires to write books with a strong story line, without excessive psychological drama, which hold the readers’ interest and make them care about the characters.
