Dorcas Wilson set out with the intention of writing historical fiction for young adults; however her pen and words have taken her in a different direction. Her tenure as a member of the Edinburgh Writers’ Club has shown her talents lie in writing for younger children and poetry and for the time being she’s chosen to embrace these. Dorcas lives in the small Scottish town of Linlithgow; it was the town that inspired her to write. When not writing, or taking inspiration from her surroundings, Dorcas works for a large financial services company.
