Linda Benbow

Born in India to British parents, Linda Benbow came to UK when she was five and was educated in England. She left London in her mid-thirties with her husband and son and spent much of her working life in the Middle East, working in media and as a journalist in Dubai, as well as working in private schools in Oman and UAE. This opened up recreational opportunities for her such as camping amongst sand dunes, sailing on her boat and snorkelling with dolphins. Linda now lives in Wiltshire, England. She is married with one son who, she says, was the inspiration for this, her first book.
