    Stella Wulf

    Stella Wulf is an artist and Interior Designer whose inspiration to be become a writer came from an unlikely source. Having spent most of her adult life engaged in ‘hands on’ restoration projects she found that the physical aspect of the work afforded plenty of time for mental rumination. One day, whilst painting doors and musing on their past lives, she had what she described as “a Eureka moment.” She began writing and has never looked back.Stella Wulf is the author of ‘The Lonesome Froom and other Strange Tales,’ ‘Rum Rhymes and Vagabond Verse’ and 'The Song of the Froom.'
