Fiona Hood-Stewart
Born in Scotland and brought up internationally, Fiona went
to boarding school in Switzerland followed by university in
several European venues. Europe was the playground for
Fiona and her aristocratic peers before she married and
moved to South America where she ran her own design
business, before turning to fashion, creating her own label
and owning several boutiques in Brazil and the US.
However, like the characters in her novels, Fiona has
always been mystically drawn back to Scotland, and makes no
secret of the fact that her family home served as the
inspiration for Dunbar in The Journey Home. Indeed, she is
well acquainted with all the locales that are visited in
all her novels which are infused with the pattern of the
author's own life experiences, giving them a truly
authentic feel. As she speaks seven languages fluently,
Fiona has a unique insight and exposure into customs and
lifestyles that most of us don't get when visiting foreign
countries.
Fiona credits her mother with putting her on the path to
becoming a writer. "Mummy always read aloud to me as a
child. She didn't approve of television and I spent many
hours with my nose in a book. As a child I read everything
I could get my hands on."
At present Fiona Hood-Stewart lives in Europe and on her
stud ranch in Brazil with her two sons. She travels
frequently, regularly visits Paris, London and New York,
and can often be seen at the races in Deauville or at Royal
Ascot.
