Author Maggie Shaw creates her stories from her many and varied life experiences. A teenage runaway who made good despite undiagnosed Autistic Spectrum Disorder, Maggie writes as one who has walked the walk in recovery and spiritual development. Her degrees in science, divinity and church music, and her career as a Mental Health Dietitian, give a solid framework to the exciting adventure stories she loves to tell. The Scottish hills and Lakeland fells where her grandparents farmed often feature as landscapes in her work.
She is also a church musician, composer and song writer, and many of her songs are inspired by the stories she writes.
The Last Thursday Ritual in Little Piddlington (2021) is the fifth book Maggie has published through micropublisher Eregendal. Her other titles are The Vision and Beyond (2018), Diviner’s Nemesis I: Avenger (2019), Diviner’s Nemesis II – Retribution (2020) and The Eagle and The Butterfly (2020).
