A Bit About Me
I love being creative and inspiring others
My creative meanderings come from a life of travel, engagement with other cultures and an empathy for the poor and downtrodden. I have a crazy vision of being able to make a difference in society, and am happy paddling in rockpools; chatting to friends; walking amongst wild things; and swirling dabs of paint or words all over the place.
Both my short stories and my mysteries are intended to transport people to other worlds, where you can join me in solving my character's problems.
I love being creative. Whilst naturally social, I eventually found that my boundless enthusiasm for all things creative was my inner fire - that which really drives me.
It all started when I went through tough challenges and obstacles for many, many years, and I just happened to buy a watercolour kit, not thinking I could paint.
That then led to further creative endeavours, and I took a writing course through my work.

At the time, I was working with orphans and vulnerable children in Alexandra Township, South Africa, so I decided to put some of their heart-rending stories into print. I fictionalised it, to protect them, and, a few years later, a book was born.
I absolutely loved the idea that perhaps I might inspire others to assist orphans, or perhaps even some orphans themselves.
I love to share all that I have learned, and so encourage others to reach their potential, so I am also doing online courses, and mentoring and speaking at events.
All that I have been through in life enables me to share depth, compassion, and increased creativity.
I trust you will enjoy your time with me as we travel on this earth together.
