R.B. Watkinson lives in the wilds of Devon on a smallholding surrounded by grown-up children, animals and gardens. She loves writing, gardening, writing, reading, more writing and, of course, more reading. Her favourite genre is fantasy, which she has devoured since childhood. Her life has been filled with writing and acting. After gaining a diploma in creative writing from the University of Oxford, R B Watkinson gained the confidence to write full time. She hopes that her readers enjoy the results of her scribblings as much as she enjoyed writing them.
