Freda Lightfoot
Freda Lightfoot was born and brought up in the mill towns of Lancashire. She always dreamed of becoming a writer but this was considered a rather exotic ambition. She has been a teacher, bookseller and smallholder but began her writing career by publishing over forty short stories and articles and five historical romances. Her family sagas draw upon memories of her own Lancashire childhood, and on the years she lived in the English Lake District bringing up her family. She still has a flat in the Lakes and a house in a small mountain village in Spain.
