Lottie Dale

Lottie Dale grew up in South London, attending school in Wimbledon before training as a nurse at St Bartholomew’s Hospital. She was a health visitor and health promotion specialist prior to moving into senior management.

Lottie took up skydiving in her 30s and was part of a UK Freefall Record jump in 1989 and a British Women’s Formation Record in 1994.

Always fascinated by words and passionate about cats, she has brought the two together in this, her first, publication.

Lottie’s partner, artist Paul Priestley, has provided the book’s illustrations.

She has three sons and two granddaughters.
