Writing is like imagining on paper.
I am an author, educator and the owner of a very active imagination. I always think writing stories is like imagining on paper, a way of recording what goes on in my head so that others can experience it too!

My Wrinkled Heart
April 2017
I have a wrinkled heart….
And so begins the story of a young girl as she faces rejection at her new school and struggles to accept who she is. Will she survive the experience? And, if so, how will it change her?
In this simple but powerful tale, I've tried to provide a glimpse of the life-long impact bullying can have, as well as offering hope that the emotional scars of the past don't have to define or limit who we can become.

About the Author
Imagination was my best friend...
As a child, I'm told my favourite phrase was 'let's pretend...". Combine that with a love of reading and writing and it seems I was destined to eventually become an author. In fact, my first story was published in the school's yearbook when I was six years old! It was many years later though, when I finally took the plunge and actively began to work on publishing my books.
Previous to this, I was an educator for thirty years teaching in the primary grades as well as working with special needs students. I often wrote stories to help the children learn and now have a large backlog of tales to dust off, polish and share with the world!
​
Other facts about me include a love of animals, nature, gardening, art and all things creative! I'm a firm believer in social justice, supporting charities and reducing our footprint on the earth.
Get In Touch
One of the greatest perks of my job is getting feedback and interacting with readers. Contact me if you have any comments or questions for me, I’d love to hear from you.
​
I am also available for classroom visits (primary-junior) to discuss the publishing process. Check out the 'book a visit' tab at the top of this page.
