The travels of Mary Loosemore

The Winter Palace – Eva Stachniak

Orphaned, penniless Polish girl is seduced into becoming a spy at the court of Catherine the Great. I gave up after about 50 pages. I need something a bit more meaningful/ meatier, less cliché-ier.

The American spelling didn’t help either.

About Me

Born and brought up in Solihull, I studied at St Andrews and in Chester before moving to live and work in London. In 2020 I relocated to Herefordshire.

I’ve done a variety of jobs in the legal sector, focusing on the knowledge management and technology side of things since 2000. You’ll find details on LinkedIn.

SparklyTrainers is about my world outside work. As you’ll see, I love to travel, take photos and read.

My email is [my firstname] @ [my surname].com
