About me

I am the mother of two gorgeous daughters, and live in the beautiful Midwest of America with the love of my life, How lucky am I?

I was born in Johannesburg, S.Africa, to British Parents and spent my early years running barefoot in the sun. I lived in Stockport, England, from age 5.(not much sun or bare feet there!) Studied Law at the University of Sheffield and briefly practiced as a Lawyer in Manchester. I traveled a little, married my High school sweetheart on the Beautiful Island of Maui, Hawaii and eventually made my home in the American Midwest.

Now my children are both at school, I am finding a lot more time to devote to developing my writing career. I love Helium and have sold a number of articles through marketplace. (Trust me, the system was updated recently and the numbers lie!) Marketplace is a great resource and provides a fantastic link between publishers and writers. It certainly works for me!
