Wallis Peel Books

>>Hazel M Peel

Hazel M Peel is the writer of numerous published books, short stories and newspaper features. She is a long established member of the Society of Authors. She often writes under the name of Wallis Peel.

She had the normal working-class education of her era but she hated school and left at fourteen. She spent one miserable year in offices then followed her heart's desire to work with horses. She started at the bottom of the pile and worked her way up as she gained experience and knowledge. She started writing in her late twenties then had gaps because of one thing or another but always, at the back of her mind, was the desire to write.
