Mary Gesteland

For me writing was the only career I could have. My husband was a manager for overseas buying offices and we moved on an average of every four years. In the 1980s I was given the chance to write for an English language newspaper in Rome, and I wrote five articles a week about Florence. Writing everyday was a real challenge, and I learned to keep my sentences short, active and interesting.  I also wrote for a number of magazines.

Then we moved to Singapore and there I was an active freelancer with the Silver Kris, the Singapore Airlines magazine. That continued for five years, and at the same time I also wrote for other airline mags, the International Rotarian and International Kiwanis.

In the last few years a wrote a memoir of our life in India, which is not yet published. My husband and I collaborated on a book about living and working in India. That was published this month and will be on the market in April.

I have six children who moved with us. We have had a very interesting life and I am very happy I have lived these years of change and ferment in the world. My life was never boring.
