Denise Scott Fears is the first-born child of Creighton Scott and Paula Pearson, and thus the eldest of Evelyn’s five grandchildren. She grew up in a number of locations in the United States, Europe and South East Asia and studied at universities in the United States and the United Kingdom. She now lives in a small seaside town on the Channel coast of England and shares her home with a very bad-tempered ginger tomcat.
