Catherine Robinson
In almost thirty years of teaching, I have watched pupils longing for the truth of a story. Truth adds weight and value. Fiction embodies truths deeper than the literal and factual, but such truths often seem less satisfying. Finding a collection of compelling letters in the Stonyhurst archive has impelled me to paddle on that boundary between fact and fiction, in the hope of clarifying my thoughts.
I have always earned my money by teaching, and played at writing. To my name I have an out-of-print children's novel, an out-of-date textbook for English teachers, and the experience of co-writing for the Walt Disney Company - which I know is nothing to brag about. My best stuff is still in the spare room drawer.
