ABOUT

Picture
This is me.

I’ve run away from school to become a children’s author. 

Into my suitcase I’ve packed all the stories that I’ve ever read, told and shared with my own two children and students. My story imagination glimmers and shines like an opal, waiting to be polished into words. 

WORDS...

​Words swish and swirl in the sea foam as I wander and think on the beach down on the South Coast of New South Wales.   

The Golden Books and fairytales from my childhood have shown me that anything is possible. My writer’s mind is becoming flexible like bubblegum.

CHARACTERS...

Picture
​Enid Blyton’s Famous Five are strong characters that go to unknown places and be bold and brave and true.  It doesn’t matter where my characters are, even in a pile of poo, as long as they are believable.

STORIES...

Elmo our dog is here too, to keep me company as I dive into the writing world. You'll find him in a story or two, along with guinea pigs that eat and eat and eat. I might have to send them into outer space.

My stories go wherever I go, so when I’m on top of a mountain, under the sea or strapped into a plane, it’s all part of the wondrous search for a story.

My writing journey is moving along just like the sea tides to all sorts of magical places.
