Cursham, Heather: - Heather was born in a castle in Scotland. Well, technically it was a castle turned maternity hospital in the grounds of Stirling University, but as a child she always like to tell of her royal roots! Most of her childhood was spent in a Scottish village, though she also spent time in Germany and the United States, very different places that sparked her imagination. She studied law at Oxford, where she met her husband and came to the conclusion that law was probably not for her after all. They currently live in Manchester, having collected four children, a daughter-in-law and a little white cat along the way.
