Innes Yates

Innes Yates was born in Edinburgh. She has written short stories, poetry and novels since childhood.

After gaining a degree in Art and Design, she moved to London where she taught art for many years before retraining in Specific Learning Difficulties. This enabled her to teach children and adults in schools and colleges, helping them to achieve academic qualifications.

 At weekends, Innes worked with the Police teaching young offenders and, in the evenings, sang in her husband’s rock band at different venues around North London.

She now lives on the East coast of Scotland.
