About me

I have been writing for about 18 years. I began writing children's stories and poetry. My first children's story was published in "Tyro", in Canada; another was published in "Hob-Nob". I have a number of poems that have been published since the mid 80's.

Currently, I am working on a book about Alzheimer's disease with which my late Father suffered. And I have a couple of children's picture books which I hope to get published.

I love working at my computer with one of my cats lying in my desk drawer beside me, or standing in front of my monitor begging for attention.
