Born in East London in the middle of the twentieth century, Borry worked as a secretary until she obtained a degree and became a teacher. Unfortunately realizing too late that this was the wrong career choice became instead an Offender Manager for London Probation until she medically retired in May 2014. Borry has always been a voracious reader of all genres and a story-teller to her own and other people's children and wrote her first book Tales from the Seaside as a cathartic exercise of reliving memories when she became seriously ill. She is a very loving wife, mum and nanna spending as much time as she can with her ever-loving and patient family.
