About Sheila…. sometimes known as Cecilia Peartree (my ‘cosy’ name)
I live in Edinburgh with my younger son and three cats. Jacques ‘the kitten’ is the youngest cat but not really a kitten any more. Caspar is black and white, and makes a lot of noise. George is tabby with a wildcat look about him. When it snows he likes to hibernate in the space under someone’s bed. I work in an art gallery, where I look after a database of works of art. During the rest of my time I write novels in several genres, take part in amateur drama with Edinburgh People’s Theatre and chair a committee.
It has just occurred to me that perhaps people are wondering why I call my blog ‘McCallum Ogilvy’. These are two last names that run in my family and represent my mother’s side and my father’s side respectively. My middle name is McCallum and my late brother’s middle name was Ogilvy. You can see both of us as children in the picture I’ve recently added to the top of the page – we’re in Pitlochry with my father, and I think the reason for our impatient faces was that my mother was taking too long to finish taking the photo.
