Eileen Ramsay shares a birthday with Jane Austen and with Beethoven but had heard of neither when she wrote her first stories. She was seven. Educated in Scotland and the United States, she taught in both countries—often about Austen or Beethoven. Her writing for children and adults has won several awards, including the Constable and Pitlochry trophies from the Scottish Association of Writers and the RNA’s Elizabeth Goudge Award. In 2004 she was shortlisted for the Romantic Novel of the Year award.
She is currently writing her—she thinks—twentieth novel. For more information about Eileen and her writing, visit www.eileenramsay.co.uk
