Lucy - Iza MacLeod

Born in Coventry, Lucy moved to Weston-Under-Wetherley when she was four, attending a local village school.  Her first teacher at infant school said she had a talent for telling stories.  She grew up in Warwickshire and attended a secondary school in Leamington Spa.
 
In 2005 she decided to go to Argentina to learn Spanish.  She spent three years in Argentina and studied Spanish at the University of Buenos Aires.  She always wanted to write a fictional novel about her experiences, but like many writers, found it difficult to find the time.  In 2011, due to exceptional circumstances, she had the opportunity to write her first fictional romance, Buenos Dias Lucy London.  It was then that she realised how much she loves writing, and it has since become her hobby.  Buenos Dias Lucy London was published a couple of months ago on Amazon.  link Buenos Dias Lucy London.
 
Lucy moved to the south of France in 2013 with her husband and is currently writing her second novel, London Raindrops (a rather sad story and a sequel to Buenos Dias Lucy London), alongside teaching English and Spanish as foreign languages at an international school. 
 
''I find it difficult to find enough time to write'', Lucy says.  ''I have more ideas for two other books after Raindrops, and it would be a dream to be able to earn as much money writing as I do teaching.  It's been great to be able to join this writing group and meet other writers to share ideas and experiences of writing with.''
''I write using the pen name Iza MacLeod.  Y Link - You can see me on Facebook.''
