Born in the literary haven of Stratford-Upon-Avon, Fiona moved to Zimbabwe with her family when she was six months old, later growing up in South Africa. She is the youngest of four children and was raised by a single mother who kept the family travelling in search of a better life. The many journeys, experiences and observations throughout have formed a colourful and many times humorous environment from which her stories are born. Fiona enjoys storytelling to young and old in informal surroundings, including festivals and group evenings around London.
