Watkins, Eleanor: - I was born on a remote Welsh hill farm, married a farmer and have always lived in the country. I wanted to write almost as soon as I could read, and began at once, in pencil on any scrap of paper to hand. And I read, and read and read. I mostly write fiction for children. I live near the book town of Hay-on-Wye, and many of my books have a local or rural setting. As well as four adult children, I have a husband, five grandchildren and a collection of cats. My aim in fiction writing is to show how God can work for good in the lives of ordinary people, that his grace and redemptive power knows no bounds, and that following Jesus is the biggest adventure ever!
