I was brought up in a very ordinary but very happy home with one elder sister, my mother and my father The great love of my life since I was a small girl was writing, which only family thought was
surprising because they didn't consider themselves educated people I wasn't surprised though because my parents were great readers which is my idea of being educated Anyway, I trained to be a nurse but
whenever I had free time I wrote: poems, short stories, I even once wrote a novel called 'The Pleasure
Principle' but I didn't feel comfortable writing longer pieces and I soon went back to my poetry
Then the strangest thing happened I had my twenty-first birthday just a few days before and I was feeling very much that I wanted to change things in my life I'd been nursing a very old woman for several months in a private ward, she told me that although she had-lots of relatives, no one came to visit her
Anyway, when she died she left me an enormous sum of money, nearly three-quarters of a million pounds!
Of course when the lawyer rang me up and told me I just laughed and thought that my friends were playing
a joke on me So I put down the phone and went in to tell my mother the joke
But it wasn't a joke! All of a sudden, I was a very rich woman Well, the first thing was that I was determined that I wouldn't waste the money Of course I wanted to do something for my family, but all my dad said was 'We're not leaving this house after all the work I've put into the garden!' My mother agreed so all I did was give them something towards a new car and a new greenhouse My sister was working abroad
at this time and when I wrote to tell her the news and offer her some money she said it was my money and that she knew I would use it sensibly None of this really came as a surprise because they've always had a sensible attitude towards money
But this left me a fortune on my hands to spend! It soon became obvious to me that much as I loved nursing, I loved writing more and that's how I got started I went to America and did a degree in creative writing I had a wonderful time and learned a great deal, not from the lecturers necessarily but mainly from other hopeful writers on the course All this was a decade ago and I've now had several volumes of poetry published I now want to do something to help other young poets so I'm thinking of setting up a small
publishing company which I'll call Grace Park Books after the wonderful old lady who helped me fulfill my life's ambition!
