Early on, my professional career took me into the nonprofit world, and a part of my responsibilities always included the "art of writing" – program materials, contractual agreements, and a lot of "ghostwriting"! Only recently did I decide to publish personally in my own name again, and now I'm working on two additional books. I guess it's always been about the fun for me and especially hoping to make a difference to someone out there. I'm sure I'll be writing down my thoughts until I can't hold a pen or use a computer any longer.

I want to make them feel as if they are actually there in the book. A distraction like that takes us away from the everyday stressful situations in our current lives. It’s nice to give your mind a break.

I was born and raised in Australia with a background career working across various Art Departments in the Film and Television Industry. Helping to make other people’s stories come to life gave me the knowledge and structure I needed to build my own story. It has taught me the layers of storytelling and complex nature of interweaving characters and storylines.
