Kate Ashton

Kate Ashton is a qualified nurse and classical homeopath, and a mother. She was born in Scotland, completed her nursing training in Edinburgh and spent several years in London as a writer and features editor for Nursing Times before leaving to live in mainland Europe. She travelled to France, Italy, Austria, Hungary, Yugoslavia, and Greece from her base in The Netherlands, and lived in rural Friesland before returning to live in the highlands of Scotland. She has written several books, both fiction and non-fiction, working from home as a freelance writer, copy editor, and translator. She enjoys the many privileges and pleasures of life in a beautiful place, among them bicycling to the beach on a summer's afternoon to take a dip in a dolphin and seal-swum bay, walking, and reading.
