Sheila Lockhart was brought up in London and moved to Scotland in 1974, first Edinburgh and, for the past thirty years, the Black Isle. After retiring from a career in social work she turned her attention to writing, mainly poetry and short stories, drawing on any aspects of life that touch her, whether human or in nature, also from the arts. She joined Ross-shire Writers in 2018 and is a member of the Suffolk Poetry Society.

Sheila’s story for Time and Time, Solstice Shorts Festival 2019, Turquoise, will be performed at Greenwich, Hastings and Lisbon, and published in the Time and Tide anthology.
