Author Information

Dr Rhona Morrison is a retired Forensic Psychiatrist who worked in the NHS in Scotland for 32 years. She has a grounded approach to life, a generous helping of humour, and an adventurous spirit. Her bestselling memoir, I don't talk to dead bodies, shared bizarre, funny, and at times, scary stories about her life and work with mentally disordered offenders. The second instalment of her memoir, From Crime Scenes to Cruise Ships, follows her journey through bereavement after the loss of her husband and embracing her retirement as a solo traveller in life, while also offering the reader a lesson in seizing the day. When not writing about her fascinating life, Rhona is an artist and a globetrotting cruise line speaker.
