Bigamy publisher honoured
A WOMAN inspired to set up her own publishing company after discovering her husband was a bigamist has been honoured in the 2009 Barclays Trading Places Awards.
The national award celebrates the achievement of people who turn their lives around by choosing to start up a business.
Edinburgh entrepreneur Mary Turner Thomson discovered in 2006 that her husband and father of her two youngest children, had been married to another woman for the past 14 years and had five children with her.
She set up her own publishing company, called Mary Turner Thomson, in November last year and to date has published one title, with two in the pipeline. She is also writing her first novel.
And she is now in the running for national glory in the award finals to be held later this year.
