Judith Taylor has been a regular on the Aberdeen poetry scene since 2004.
Her 2006 chapbook Earthlight was described as "a warm collection, but with
... an edge"; in Local Colour she brings those qualities to bear on the ghost
stories she has always loved, but doesn't believe a word of.
Information and statistics drawn from various sources, including my Granny, the Sunday
Post, and the Internet: take with salt accordingly.
