British born, but well traveled, I've lived/worked in the USA, Australia, Holland, Spain and Canada. I have a degree in Public Relations and started my writing career producing press releases and publicity material as part of my job.

I now write everything from fiction to feature articles and also love writing for children. I've had short fiction published in British small press publications such as Quality Women's Fiction, Acorn Magazine, Connections and Writers' Cauldron.

I've studied with the UK based Academy of Children's Writers and currently have a children's book out there looking for a publisher.

I love writing, reading and rating on Helium. I've found it a great place to share and acquire knowledge on a huge range of subjects. As a parent, I'm very interested in children's issues, child psychology and childhood development, and I've recently returned to school to study Child and Family Studies, so watch out for more articles from me in that area.
