Trey squirrels away at her words beside the seaside. Between scenes, she delivers babies and provides maternity-in-fiction advice to fellow writers and editors. In her spare time, she sea/lido swims, kayaks, visits her children in Austria, and follows her four-legged boss along coastal paths.

Trey's love of the sea and writing demands she’ll be making up stories until her scattered ashes float past some unsuspecting sea swimmer.
