    Mollie Lyons

    Mollie Lyons is a retired ex nurse who lives very near the Bronte Country in West Yorkshire. She is originally from the county of Northumberalnd in the North East of England where she spent the early part of her life living on a remote sheep farm. Writing is one of her favourite hobbies and the wonderful views from her apartment serve to give her inspiration for her stories of Georgian and Victorian Yorkshire. She likes to depict not only romance in her stories but also the hard times that people of those times had to tolerate and how many overcame the difficulties by determination and hard work.She has one son who is a scientist and two grandchildren and they, along with her daughter in law, are the lights of her life.
