​

My fascination with history began as a child, prising information from Nanna about the 'olden days.' I would listen intently as my grandmother reminisced about her life, sharing stories of a time and age far removed from mine. I guess it was a natural progression— as soon as I could read it was stories from the past that always drew my interest. 

​

With dreams of a writing career sparked, before long I was punching away on a portable typewriter. As time moved on love, life and family interrupted my days, and my writing  projects gathered dust in the bottom of my closet. (Alongside numerous boxes of now-vintage shoes!)

 

The desire to write and be published never left me.

​

Now I am living my dream and embracing the creativity of

 stories drawn from history. The temptation to delve into the archives to uncover a family mystery, or develop a new character, inspires my writing direction. Sharing stories is where the magic happens.

​

I've moved house too many times to count and have collected more useless ephemera than any person can use in one lifetime. But I take pleasure in satisfying my inner desire for new experiences by creating characters in faraway places, and live through them vicariously, dreaming up adventures, challenges and mysteries within the pages.

​

I was lured to the beauty of salt water after a lifetime in the city of Melbourne, and acknowledge that I live and write on the coast of Wadawurrung Country. My wonderful husband and beloved four-legged friend, Harvey remain by my side, and sometimes, our children and  grandchildren drop in to share Nanna's scones!

​

I'd love to share my stories with you too.
