Margaret was born in Gainsborough however, she moved to the coast when she was seven-years-old and this began her love for the sea and the Lincolnshire landscape.

She started writing short stories when she was aged just 14, with the hope of seeing her work published.

However, this did not happen until 1968 when she penned her first novel.

And since 1994 she has written a book a year.
