Josephine Duthie was born in 1948 in Lennox Castle. Boarded out from a children’s home in Dunoon at the age of eight to a croft in the Northeast of Scotland, Josephine trained as a nurse in 1966 and spent many years in the profession. She has been married and widowed twice. She is a mother and grandmother. Poetry is her first love, with over one hundred poems included in several anthologies. Josephine’s first book Say Nothing is an autobiography published in 2012, which connects in so many ways with Shadows in the Mist.
