My name is SJ Williamson, and I live with my husband and our two retrievers in a very pretty, rural, part of Gloucestershire.
For the past 20 years, I have been running my own knitwear company, designing and hand knitting garments for babies and children. At the same time I have been renovating and decorating our properties.
I now have my own small interior design company, with a scattering of soft furnishings, window treatments and upholstery to complete the package!
In 1990 (during the world cup), I wrote my first attempt at a novel on my typewriter. Sadly, the box-file containing the book was lost in a house move, and it wasn't until 2005 that I revisited that part of my brain where Purgatory was hidden!
Having finally completed the story 15 years after I began and loved the process so much, I have written a novella, reached the halfway mark of a second book, and also begun 3 other pieces of fiction. I've also plans for a sequal to Purgatory!
My work is unpublished, although I would be telling a huge lie if I said I didn't care if it remained that way, which is after all, the ultimate goal!
