Nydia's first memories are of the Isle of Man, where she lived as a small child. When her family relocated to Leeds, she grew up dreaming of fairies and of the sea (she still does). In her early twenties she moved to London to embark on an acting career, then to Paris, where she continued her theatre training before creating a theatre company and becoming a clown (red nose included). Returning to London almost a decade later, she worked in a shoe shop while studying for a creative writing degree at Birkbeck University.

Quotes by Nydia Hetherington (?)

“All we can do is perform our lives as gloriously as possible. For my part, I’m happy to take my applause where I can. This is the end because I cannot write the next chapter, it needs to be lived.”

“Do not be defined by a lover, or by anyone else for that matter. You are not an appendage, an add-on to the masculine world. And so, you must have your independence – not only of thought and spirit, but physical and financial. Independence will be your strength. Find it. Hold on to it. It is freedom, Mouse, and it will serve you well.”

“To dream is to live with your face brightened by moonlight. Yet dreams are only a shadow, my Mouse, a pale and rippled reflection of the way things could be. I know what a dreamer you are; we are cut from the same fabric where that’s concerned. But, if our dreams come true, we risk tainting them with the hard edge of reality. Sometimes it’s a risk worth taking, like working hard to become the greatest funambulist who ever lived. And, sometimes, it’s best to leave well alone and let daydreams stay in the world of our imagination. The trick is, finding which to leave and which to follow.”
