Mary Matthews set up Three Shires Publishing, an independent company, to publish the works of her alter ego, novelist Georgia Rose.
After working for many years in the law she started up her own business providing administration services to other businesses.
Although her other business keeps her busy she started writing fiction in 2012 and by trial and error found out how to independently-publish, market and sell her books. She now has five books available worldwide with a sixth on the way.
