Conville & Walsh

Born in London in 1969, Sally grew up all over the world as her father served the Foreign Office in New York, Kuwait, Tanzania, Dubai, Zambia and Jordan. In 2004 she did an MA in Creative Writing at Birkbeck and as part of the course helped found and edit the Mechanics’ Institute Review, aka MIR. Besides OUT OF A CLEAR SKY, she has published a number of short stories, including ‘In Heaven there is no Beer’, a 2005 Asham Award runner up. She worked for over 10 years at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew before giving up her job and moving to Scotland to write full time. She has long been a keen birdwatcher and has sought birds wherever she has travelled – from Antarctica to Swaziland and all points in between.
