Gayle Letherby
I am a writer in various ways. I am a sociologist who publishes mostly in the areas of reproduction and non/parental identity; methodology and travel and transport. I have been writing fiction and prose for a few years now and draw on my own experience - both personal and academic - in my work. Other inspriations come from the books I enjoy and the news items that make me cross. I've have recently begun to also write short pieces of memoir.

Thanks so much for comments and cherries xxx I'm still working on the 12 things. I want to learn a couple of things, go to a couple of places new to me. I'll keep you informed, as I'm hoping to write up my experience of each one. . . .
