Colette de Curzon was born in 1927. The daughter of the then French Consul General, she wrote “Paymon’s Trio” in 1949 in Portsmouth, at the age of 22. Having no knowledge of available routes to publication, she tucked it away in a folder of her work, where it remained until 2016 and was published in 2017 by Nicholas Royle of Nightjar Press. Mother of four grown-up daughters and three grandchildren, Colette died in March 2018.
