I am a mother of six young grown-ups, and I have five grandchildren. I work with my husband managing several charitable trusts and also work part-time as a wellness advocate. I completed and self-published my collection of short stories in September 2021. I completed my master's in creative writing at AUT in 2011. As well as short stories I enjoy writing short fiction, poems, and children's stories. I am currently working on a novel. I belong to a book group and love reading and discussing authors' ideas. I plan to start an author's group in Devonport, to share ideas around the writing process and publishing.
