About Me
I hail from Newcastle in the North-East of England, a wonderful cultural city surrounded by picturesque countryside and windswept beaches.

As a child I loved reading , sneaking a torch under the covers to 'just finish this chapter—then the next, then the next.'
I dreamed of being an author in a country cottage like Enid Blyton or Beatrix Potter. I also dreamed of acting with the Royal Shakespeare Company, but that didn't quite work out! I studied at the University of Life, eventually leading me to Australia where I now live with my husband and three children.

Things You Don't Know About Me
My family on my grandmothers side were Eurasian.
WWII displaced people's from Burma (Myanmar) to England and Australia, I have always wanted to honour their story.

Dancing? Hopeless!: I once went the opposite way on stage to everyone else, moving as gracefully as a plank of wood.

I once worked in Europe: After studying at language school in Athens, I spent two years in  Greece and Cyprus and also gave tours of Amsterdam and Bruge.

Tea is my favourite drink : Half a sugar, a splash of milk - literally a splash, thanks very much.

I once worked as a Colourist:  Colourists make TV shows look pretty or cool, or old fashioned, or…whatever the director wants. I colour graded five years of Home and Away!

I love Castles. Any castle - just castles.

Writing things about me
I'm a role model for Books in Homes, a wonderful charity providing books-of-choice to children living in remote, disadvantaged and low socio-economic circumstances.

I'm proud to be a founding member of the inaugural  Words On The Waves Writers Festival in beautiful Darkinjung Country Central Coast.
