| Ngaire Elder |
I was born and raised in Glasgow, Scotland. I spent most of my childhood playing outside with my brother and my imaginary friends and feasting on my granny’s homecooking. I can remember the magpie that followed me around my garden one summer, and the day my grandpa found the wild bunnies that I had captured and hidden in my bedroom.
After leaving school, I went to college and university (part-time) and embarked on a career in the health and safety sector, qualifying in 1993.
I met my husband through my work and we have 4 children.
Now, I spend my time looking after my family, taking care of our collection of animals (3 dogs, 1 cat, 2 horses, 2 pigs, 3 ferrets and a budgie), nurturing the kitchen garden, learning Spanish, speaking Spanish and writing.
I currently live in Spain.

a copy of our books. An excellent prize that can be downloaded directly to
your kindle device. No waiting for the postman to deliver!
Reading is an important
skill for children to learn and electronic reading devices like kindles are
opening up the possibilities of getting children to read more. Ideal for those
times when you need to entertain them in waiting rooms or during long journeys
but also great for reading at home. This super prize will keep the younger
members of the family entertained either independently or as a group activity.
The winner of the give-away
will receive a copy of each of the titles giving them an instant library of
children's books for their kindle... and just in time for the holidays ;)
