Pauline George

 

Pauline George has come from Aircraft Mechanic to Motor Mechanic to Signal Operator to Writer, plenty of grist for the writing mill. Pauline was born in the beautiful county of Kent and is the eldest of four children. She now lives halfway between the buzzing metropolis of London and the quiet countryside of the Surrey Hills. Pauline realised at an early age she had the ability to write creatively, so much so that her English teacher Joyce Fowle gave her an extra exercise book for her poetry and essays. To this day she still has that exercise book. Although Pauline has always enjoyed writing she has never really had the nerve to 'put it out there' with many a story finishing up in the waste bin. However she has co-written a musical and a one act play which were performed at her local amateur dramatic society. Pauline also performed a one woman show at that same dramatic society after completing a year at a drama school in London as a mature student. Pauline indulges her hobbies of walking and photography when she isn't writing, but even then her mind is busy creating the stories she hopes you will enjoy reading.

 

I love the process of writing but not so much the editing and rewriting then editing and rewriting again ad nauseum. The trouble is without these endless checks it would be awful unless of course you are so brilliant you can do it in one. I am not, so I have to check and recheck.

 

I hope you enjoy my work it’s not to everybody’s taste and some of you may not like it at all, but remember it’s fiction and you should be able to suspend disbelief for the duration of the book. However, where it’s factual it should be correct and I hope I’ve managed to keep things as accurate as I believe and have researched.

 

My life is changing and a new house that needs work is taking up a lot of my time. I now have to make a space in my day to sit down and write. Since retiring in May 2014 it’s been hard finding the time and I realise now how much writing I did between my shifts at work and on my breaks. How did I manage to work and do everything else? But don’t fear I am in the process of drafting my third book and so far I’m about a third of the way through.
