I’ve been writing ever since teenagehood when I first discovered the joy of escaping into stories, and of
perhaps showing the world my own unique view.
Influenced early on by such writers as Mary Renault and D H Lawrence,
I hope to try and capture some of the beauty they do.

I was lucky enough to grow up in the 1960s and escape all the hang-ups of the 50's,
and the returning conservatism of the 00's.
I feel moved and angered by society's pressure to conform and control.

In my writing I like to examine the difficulties that kind, good, loving people have to face
when told by society that they don’t fit in.

I grew up in rural Australia and currently live in a small town on the outskirts of Melbourne,
a major city in Australia.
I live there with my husband and two kids, one an autistic boy, the other a shy and
beautiful teenage girl, whom I home-school.
I also work part time helping high school kids who have dropped out of school to find an alternative path to education.
