Sydnee Blake was born in New York, lived in France but spent most of her working life in London. She has been an actor, theatre director and teacher. Her stories appeared in Worldwide Writers and Brittle Star . They have also been placed in awards, including The Ian St James, The New Writer and Fish. She has two sons and four grandchildren. It’s published! I have my book Finding Words in Whitechapel and other stories. It looks beautiful BUT the cost.
