CHANCERY STONE

Chancery Stone was born in the Scottish new town of East Kilbride. The child of card-carrying Communists, she grew up in a strongly patriarchal working class family with middle class aspirations, where equality was fine as long as the man's dinner was on the table and everybody did exactly what he said. Surrounded by aunts dominated by bullying husbands and watching both her mother and grandmother preserve family secrets at great personal cost to all involved, she became interested in the toxic effects of the 'traditional nuclear family' currently lauded as a vanishing role model for modern times.

Violently anti-censorship, which she sees as merely the logical conclusion of silencing the powerless, she wrote DANNY to expose the lies and deceits of family life and the self-serving fallacy of 'protecting the children'.

Chancery Stone is exceptionally good-looking, gifted and talented and just wishes the rest of the world would catch up with her.
