Maggie Craig

Maggie Craig has worked as a medical secretary, translator, and tour guide, before the publication of her first novel, The River Flows On. She now writes full time, and has completed seven novels and two non-fiction books, starting wtih Damn Rebel Bitches, the story of the women of the '45 rebellion. She is proud to be a writer of 'women's commercial fiction' and romance novels.

She has contributed to two other non-fiction books, Twisted Sisters and EUP's The Biographical Dictionary of Scottish Women.

Maggie Craig's family has always claimed Robert Tannahill, the weaver-poet of Paisley, to be on one of the branches of the Craig family tree. Tannahill is best known as - supposedly - the wordsmith of "Will ye go, lassie, go?", or "Wild Mountain Thyme". Tannahill left no children - allegedly drowning himself when a publisher rejected one of his manuscripts. As a several-times great niece, Maggie Craig continues to write, despite her own experiences of rejection by a publisher.
