: About Me

I'm a freelance writer and journalist. Although I have been writing all my life', publicly I have been writing prolifically for the past 12 years. A frequent contributor to national English language papers published in the island on which I live and varied magazines, I enjoy writing about human' stories, art and whatever involves feminine issues. Also the author of children's books and short stories, I like to delve into fiction from time to time. The basic theme is that I am interested in people, their lives and their emotions. The rest takes care of itself.

My passion is ...

Vintage costume jewellery but fine jewellery is just fine too!

I know too much about ...

Breastfeeding, baby care, jewellery, raising boys, marriage, writing ....not necessarily in that order.

My parents always told me ...

To be a good girl.

My childhood ambition ...

To become a writer.

My favorite memory ...

The birth of my children.

Why I write ...

Because when I spend too much time away from writing I tend to bite people's heads off.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

I am reading John Benjamin's book on jewellery & Isabel Allende's 'My invented Country'.

My first job ...

A typist - but it transformed itself into a front office clerk in a busy customs office.

My best moment ...

Being asked to travel to cover a fashion launch in Paris on my first freelance press trip.

My inspiration ...

Too many to mention - but my husband is my biggest one by far.
