About me

 I've lived in France, Canada, Australia and now England at more addresses than I can count. Moving constantly as a child, teenager and also as an adult has kept me on the outside looking in much of my life. It has given me an obsession with characters who don't belong or find themselves in unfamiliar places. 

Along the way, I have always lived in my own world. A world where the usual rules of fashion do not apply.

As a result I spend a lot of time talking to myself. Oh, and Banrock (below). Talking to yourself - and holding endless imagined conversations in your mind - are good practice for being a writer. I always made up detailed stories and loved to play with words. 

But it was a long journey. I've been a scientist, a lawyer, an optometrist; I've managed businesses, worked in secondary schools and libraries. Writing and stories always hummed along in the background, but it wasn't until I moved to England in 2004 that they took over.

There will be no further swimsuit shots of me on a beach.

Yes, I know. Banrock is a bunny, and not the sort that hops around the garden. He prefers mocktails to carrot juice and living the good life to digging holes in the dirt.

Banrock is also my Muse.
