Roberta Dewa was born in Nottingham in 1954. She began her writing life as an historical novelist; her first published novel was a defence of bad King John. During the 1990s she spent most of her time studying for her BA, MA and PhD at the University of Nottingham, but she continued to develop her own writing, publishing poetry, reviews and short fiction in the small presses. In 2007 she returned to writing full-length works while taking her MA in Creative Writing at NTU. Her recently completed novel, Home, is currently in revision, and her present project, The Book-Keeper’s Daughter, is a memoir.

Holding Stones is her first short story collection.
