Librarian note: There is more than one author in the GoodReads database with this name R.J. Grieve lives in an old farmhouse set in the rolling green countryside of Northern Ireland along with her husband, daughter and a cat with attitude. Her background is in the law but she has given up things legal to write full time. The rugged coastline and heather-covered mountains of her native land provide her with inspiration for many of the descriptive passages in her books. (source: Amazon.com)
