Ursula Williams: Ursula is a born traveller with an insatiable thirst for experiences and not afraid to take risks. She left her home in Germany and a successful career in marketing to start a new life on a small island in the Caribbean. For more than 25 years Ursula worked as a designer and business consultant and explored the rainforest in her free time. She located ancient settlements took part in their archaeological excavation, learned the herbal lure and mythology from Amerindian tribal elders and medicine men. When her children left the island to study abroad, she returned to Germany, travelled through Europe, visited ancient sites in Northern Africa, Ireland and Scotland. It was Scotland that stole her heart and inspired her to start a new carrier as an author. Ursula’s undying love for Scotland and everything mystical shows in her descriptions of the Scottish scenery, the forests, lochs, and glens. Her narratives are so vivid that the reader can not only see the sites but feel and almost smell them as well. Her characters are so lifelike, likeable or feared that her readers easily recognise them through their speaking pattern or action.
