She began evening classes studying for a BA Landscape Studies at University of Sussex. Maggie was aware that retirement was approaching fast, and so was keen to continue her studies with a six-year part time DPhil Landscape Studies. For her subject she took St Leonard's Forest on the edge of Horsham and researched how social and economic history effected this forest landscape. She was awarded her doctorate in 2014. Since then she has focussed on writing; fiction, non-fiction and poetry. Her first publication was Secret Horsham (2019) Amberley Publications. This will be her second book, St Leonard's Forest, West Sussex: A Landscape History, published by local UK company Author's Pen.view less
