Lou Bergin has never been short of ideas for a story, with family and friends ever wary they will turn up on her page.
Lou lives mostly in Cornwall, but spends the winter in New Zealand, her place of birth.
Her ideal day would include reading and outdoor adventures, perhaps simultaneously.
On retiring, Lou undertook postgraduate study in creative writing and the environment.
She is grateful to her four children and spouse for their honest reviews of her work.
