Kathy Lavelle

Kathy Lavelle was born into a small British, village community. From very humble beginnings, Kathy later spread her wings and moved to London where she qualified as a teacher, then took an Open University BA Degree, a Masters Degree in the study of Special Educational Needs, and after her retirement she studied for a BA in English and Creative Writing. Throughout her career, she taught in Nottingham, Ireland and California. She was a primary school Principal in London for the final twenty years of her teaching life.
Kathy has been married to Michael for 43 years. They have four children and five grandchildren. She is now a Chaplain and voluntary hospital worker in East London and has worked with the homeless in Westminster. In her limited spare time, she has a keen interest in playing bridge.
Kath’s first book “The Baby in the Biscuit Tin” was published with Chipmunka Publishing.
It was her pastoral care work and involvement with the homeless in London that inspired Kathy to write the novel, “In The Shadow of The Eye.”
