S.Marie Diegutis was born in Nottingham and grew up in Wales in the days of Harrington jackets, drainpipe-jeans and CB radios. She grew up with horses and dogs and now lives by the sea and sleeps to the sound of the tides. She used to have her hand pierced, and once completed helicopter crash training. She’s a sucker for red hair dye, naps, and sunrises and can’t walk past a vase of flowers, anywhere, without an uncontrollable urge to rearrange them.
