Focus on Joan Fallon
Joan Fallon was born in Dumfries, Scotland but spent most of her adult life in England. Teacher, management trainer and business woman, she moved to Spain at the beginning of the new millennium and became a writer.
Her first published work was a social history, ‘Daughters of Spain’, inspired by the women she met in her adopted home. The research for this book in
turn encouraged her to write the following two novels: ‘Spanish Lavender’, which is set in Malaga during the early years of the Civil War and ‘The House on the Beach’, the story of two young women growing up in Franco’s Spain. One of her subsequent novels grew out of her experiences living and working in Spain: ‘Loving Harry’ is a story about two women in love with the same man and set in ex-pat Spain. A trip to Galicia inspired her to write ‘Santiago Tales’ about a woman whose life is in tatters and who decides to walk the Camino de Santiago seeking solutions. Likewise a visit to the Moorish ruins at Madinat al Zahra near Cordoba inspired her to research and write ‘The Shining City’, a novel set in Moorish Spain during the 10th century. All her novels feature strong women as their heroines. Joan is a member of the Society of Authors and the Alliance of Independent Authors.
