ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Sheila Mary Taylor (Sheila Belshaw) was born in Cape Town beneath the towering slopes of Table Mountain. Brought up in Claremont and educated at Rustenburg School for Girls, she was trained as a dancer at UCT Ballet School, but stopped dancing in her early twenties when she started moving around the world with her mining engineer husband, Colin.
Since then, her plethora of unusual activities - jockey in Amateur Ladies’ races at Kenilworth and Durbanville, formation roller skating in night-clubs and hotels, a spell of acting and directing, editor of a dramatic society magazine, secretary to a diplomat, dancing in the Royal Albert Hall, London, just to name a few - have all enriched and inspired her writing.

[...] As for her own writing, Sheila’s “pen was triggered” when she sat at the bedside of her youngest son Andrew suffering from life-threatening teenage bone cancer. The revised and updated edition of Fly With a Miracle, the book she wrote then, is about to be re-published in paperback and e-Book as Count to Ten.
