: About Me

I am a mother of a beautiful 10 month old baby girl, partner to a wonderful man and currently I am 16 weeks into the process of introducing Baby Number 2 into the world.

I live in Brisbane, Australia close to Bribie Island. I love the ocean, 4wding and everything associated with nature and the outdoors. I have only just started up writing again after stumbling across Helium.

I have half finished novels from my younger days that I have recently found - it was always a dream of mine to be published one day. Life though had other ideas, and until now my life has been a twisty, curly journey of the unexpected.

Since I have started writing again I have felt a renewed sense of purpose and although a tad rusty still - I am working on it.

My passion is ...

life in general. Doing what I love, being near the ocean, camping

I know too much about ...

adulthood. Can I go back to being a child now?

My parents always told me ...

To do your best, no matter what

My childhood ambition ...

To be a writer, to be a journalist, oh and I think I wanted to be a teacher once

My favorite memory ...

Camping at Double Island Point

Why I write ...

It gives my inner me a voice. I don't have to hold back

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

I'm pretty varied

My inspiration ...

Everything around me.

Let me run through the first 12 weeks with you and maybe then you can see my reasoning behind this. I will start at Week 4 as this is when most people discover they are pregnant (as their period is due). Week 4 - Your baby is termed an 'embryo' and looks like a tiny tadpole around 1mm in length Week 5 - The heart is 3/4 of the way formed and will begin beating. The brain, car...
