They’re dear friends, so they said: We love your plays. The evening wore on. Wine was taken. They said: But your stuff is very dark, very sad. Why don ‘t you write something happy? A love story? And because they’re dear friends, I decided I would.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
As a child, Jill was thrilled by the annual pantomime at the Birmingham Rep, and would make up conversations in her head between imagined, magical characters. Nothing really changes. In 2019, Jill gained her Master’s degree in Creative Writing in Glasgow, Scotland (another panto city!) and began to realise her imagined conversations as audio drama.
Her darker plays draw from history, examining its parallels with the present. In lighter mode, she returns as often as possible to the beautiful Western Isles for her inspiration. Jill’s most recent work is a trilogy of radio plays called An Ayrshire Trilogy, which celebrates the rich history and culture of the county she has chosen as her home.
Jill lives in an Ayrshire village with her patient husband, an indolent cat and the voices in her head.
