M.I. McAllister writes: 'Grew up on the north-east coast, both parents, one older sister. Primary school ok, hated secondary school, wonderful sixth-form college. Did lots of dance and drama — stagestruck, ‘Wrote’ stories in my head even before I could write. Started a course in Education and Dance in Exmouth, then came back to Newcastle to do a B.Ed. in English. Married a clergyman in 1978, two years in Bristol working in the Education Offices, then five years in Wallsend. Taught a lot of dance and drama in an arts centre. Six years in Amble in Northumberland. After years of trying to write, cut off, did and Adult Ed course in writing short stories and started to be published in magazines.
