About Gillian
Gillian grew up in a small village in Hampshire before moving later in life to Sennen, Cornwall where she lives with her husband Kevin. She has two grown children Dominic and Emma, and a granddaughter Mimi.
Her compelling debut of three narrative works, part memoir, part fiction, touches on the raw emotions of youth, love and loss and ultimately to accepting deep rooted feelings needing to be addressed through sobriety. The title story, Sober at Sixty, is autobiographical, and takes us on a genuine, relatable and courageous journey through the writer's struggle with alcohol and up to their decision to embrace sobriety and live life to the full.
Gillian is also currently developing a collection of poems.
