Apple Gidley

A nomadic life has seen Anglo-Australian Apple Gidley live in twelve countries as diverse as Papua New Guinea and The Netherlands, which is chronicled in her memoir, Expat Life Slice by Slice.

Her roles have been varied—editor, intercultural trainer for multi-national corporations, British Honorary Consul, among others. Her books, whether historical or contemporary, reflect those cultures and experiences.

She is the published author of six books, and her latest novel, Finding Serenissima, will be released by Vine Leaves Press in March 2025. With the next, Annie’s Day, due for publication in November 2025.

Gidley writes a blog, A Broad View. She led a writers’ group in the Caribbean for seven years, and now living in South Cambridgeshire, leads The Ickleton Jotters.
