Paula Hillman live in Cumbria, in a large industrial town called Barrow-in-Furness. Ship building is at its heart, and because of its location on the coast as well as on the foothills of The Lakes, She's heavily invested in the natural history of the place. She studied science at college and specialised in it for her Batchelors teaching degree, but her heart has always been tied up with books and reading.
She walked away from a long teaching career because She wanted to write. She wrote many texts and playscripts as part of her job as a teacher, and She wanted to do more. Writing is a therapy, as much as walking in nature is, to her.
married to a photographer and have two children- a thirty-eight-year-old daughter, and a twenty-year-old son, who is still at home with us. She's a passionate advocate for local communities- Barrow has a deep Victorian heritage and a Cistercian Abbey- and has studied these in depth for her own interest and within her teaching career.
Barrow people are community driven and welcoming, and their character is unique in so many ways. She wants to capture all of this in the books She writes. She's now got a master’s degree in Creative Writing, and has embarked on a post graduate diploma in regional and local history. Seaview House is her debut novel, published with Bloodhound Books. It’s all coming together.
