Gayle Letherby

I love to write. I am a sociologist who publishes mostly in the areas of methodology (including creative ways to present data), reproduction and non/parental identity, meanings and experiences of love, loss and the aftermath of death, solitude and/or loneliness, gender and identity, working and learning in higher education and travel and transport. I  have been writing fiction and memoir for about 14 years and draw on my own experience - both personal and academic - in my work. Other inspriations come from the books I enjoy and the news items that make me cross.
