Lucy Pinney works from a small farm in Devon.
Starting as a humorous writer on magazines like Cosmopolitan, She, and Country Living, she has also written in-depth interviews and serious features for most of the national newspapers.
Drawing on a 25-year marriage to an eccentric horseman, she wrote two romantic novels: The Pink Stallion, which won a runners-up prize in the 1987 Betty Trask Awards, and Tender Moth (1994). In 1998 she began a weekly column about country life in The Times, and is currently turning this into a book.
She has three children and now lives with a Morris Dancer.
