About the author

Celia is a journalist and author who wrote regularly for The Times, the Independent and other national newspapers and magazines, focussing on relationships, family life, health and education. She also wrote celebrity profiles, including Gordon Ramsay, Lou Reed and Juliet Stevenson.
After thirty years as a journalist she turned to writing books about parenting and major transitions in life, such as the empty nest and retirement. They are subjects close to her heart as well as her own stage in life. She recently produced a Retirement Planning Toolkit and webinar for Hampshire Police Force, and works with other organisations on retirement planning.
Her four books are:
'All Grown Up: Nurturing relationships with adult children' (Green Tree/Bloomsbury)
'Not Fade Away: How to thrive in retirement' (Green Tree/Bloomsbury).
'The Empty Nest: Your changing family, your new direction' (expanded and updated edition published in 2021 by Piatkus)
'Conversations with Mothers and Daughters' (Optima).
Celia has two sons and a daughter in their thirties, and four grandchildren. Her kids all boomeranged in and out of home in their twenties, but her nest in London is finally empty - apart from her husband, a molecular biologist.
