Education

I graduated from King’s College Cambridge, England, with a BA and and an MA  in Modern and Medieval Languages (French, Italian and Russian).

Cultural Background

Half American and half British, I grew up in Egypt, Tunisia, Belgium and Laos, thanks to the British Diplomatic Service. Most of my education was in the French Lycée system, followed by a spell at a Bedales school in the U.K. I’ve  lived and worked in London, Berkeley, California, and Washington DC.

I was based for many years in Zurich, Switzerland, where our family home still is.  I am now primarily based in London, on my houseboat in Canary Wharf. My husband and I have three adult children — one son, two daughters, aged 29, 25, and 22 — who are also currently based in the UK.

Career

I’ve had a varied career, having worked in publishing and television/film as well as in teaching. In the early 1980s, in Washington DC, I was the Research Director for Larry King’s first TV show. I later joined the National Geographic Magazine, as a researcher and writer. For many years I  taught English as a foreign language to adults and was a freelance editor for one of Zurich’s top law firms.
