Pat AbercrombyPat Abercromby had a long and varied career in medical research, running a recruiting company, followed by journalism during a spell living in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, then in mid-life, retraining in complementary therapy and starting a training school or therapists before finally turning to creative writing. Her husband's life-changing stroke in 2007 eventually gave her the opportunity to pen her first semi-autobiographical novel in 2016, and since then she has continued writing fiction. Song of Love is her fourth novel written in collaboration with Scarlett Palys.
Scarlett Palys trained as a classical singer and, after moving abroad with her husband, was able to continue to make music. They travelled mainly in Saudi Arabia and the US. On returning to the UK, now with two daughters, Scarlett took up teaching singing. She and her husband now live in a small village in South Oxfordshire and enjoy walking, concerts and spending time with their grandchildren. Read More Read Less
