Margret Shea

Margret Shea is an intrepid traveller and can’t resist a new challenge. She has worked as an artist and was a member of a craft co-operative, and worked with St John of Gods in Dingle for seven years. In 2010 she retired early and set off to Australia where she drove 20,000kms with a friend. Walked the Santiago Camino for 500 kms and then settled in the sunny Costa Blanca for seven months and wrote her first novel ‘PICK UP THE PHONE’
and is working on her second novel.

She is Scottish, and after having raised her family and moved location many times in the UK, she has now been settled for seventeen years on the Dingle Peninsula, County Kerry, Ireland.
