A Year in The Life of Leah Brand

Lucinda E Clarke has been a professional writer for the last 30 years, scripting for both radio and television. She's had numerous articles published in several magazines and currently writes a monthly column in a local publication. She once had her own newspaper column, until the newspaper closed down, but says this was not her fault!She has won over 20 awards for scripting, directing, concept and producing, and had two educational text books published. Sadly these did not make her the fortune she dreamed of, to allow her to live in the manner to which she would like to be accustomed.Lucinda has also worked on radio - on one occasion with a bayonet at her throat - appeared on television and met and interviewed some of the world's top leaders. She set up and ran her own video production company, producing a variety of programmes, from advertisements to corporate to drama documentaries on a vast range of subjects.Altogether she has lived in eight different countries, run the 'worst riding school in the world,' and cleaned toilets to bring the money in.When she handled her own divorce, Lucinda made legal history in South Africa. She gives occasional talks and lectures to special interest groups and finds retirement the most exhausting time of her life so far; but says there is still so much to see and do, she is worried she won't have time to fit it all in.
