Nothing really changes. In 2019, Jill gained her Master\\u2019s degree in Creative Writing in Glasgow, Scotland (another panto city!) and began to realise her imagined conversations as audio drama. \\xa0\\nHer darker plays draw from history, examining its parallels with the present. In lighter mode, she returns as often as possible to the beautiful Western Isles for her inspiration. Jill\\u2019s most recent work is a trilogy of radio plays called An Ayrshire Trilogy, which celebrates the rich history and culture of the county she has chosen as her home.\\n\\xa0\\nJill lives in an Ayrshire village with her patient husband, an indolent cat and the voices in her head.'
