Because it's all about me 
 

Trey Montague (the 3-2-1 short version)

From YTS conscript to editor, philosopher, musician, short-listed author, prize-winning poet, mum, midwife, sea swimmer, honorary canine.

Consultant and advisor for fiction authors writing all things maternity related.

Trey has 

3 degrees and was once in a band

2 nationalities

1 butter-wouldn't-melt Yorkshire Terrier

1/2 - as in 'other' - reliable as taxes

(the long version)

Trey has a background in English lit, philosophy, political theory, African drumming, martial arts and midwifery. Aside from being academically over qualified for life in general, she's a proud recipient of a PhD in walking her Yorkshire Terrier.

She squirrels away at her words beside the seaside. Between scenes and midwifing, she edits and provides maternity-in-fiction consulting services. In her spare time, she swims, kayaks, visits her children in Austria, and follows her four-legged boss along coastal paths.

Her love of the sea and writing demands she’ll be making up stories until her scattered ashes float past some unsuspecting sea swimmer.
