Doreen signing her books at Waterstone’s
Bookstore in Aylesbury in 1998.
Doreen Louie West self-published her first book: “Louie: A
Country Lady” in 1997 at the age of 78. She wrote about the life of her
mother, Louie, to record her memories for her family, but to her surprise it
became a bestseller. The success of this book has completely changed her life
and brought her much happiness.
Readers became so interested in “Louie” that Doreen was persuaded
to write a sequel: “Louie: An Oxford Lady”.
In 2001 she was selected as a finalist for the Oxfordshire Woman
of the Year.
Doreen lived with her family in Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire
for most of her life, she has a son and daughter and two grandchildren.
Now a widow, Doreen lives with her daughter and three years ago
they moved to Carmarthenshire where she is enjoying her new peaceful
lifestyle and the beautiful Welsh countryside.
Last year she celebrated her 90th birthday.
