Biographie de l'auteur

My father was a Squadron Leader in the Royal Air Force and he was sent to Africa to train pilots during the war where he met and married my mother who was a Nursing Sister. I was born in Salisbury, Rhodesia (Harare, Zimbabwe) and I have an elder sister. I was educated in Salisbury , Rhodesia and in Livingstone, Zambia. As a child my school reports usually stated I was a bit of a 'day dreamer' so maybe that was the start of my vivid imagination. I intended going to University to study to become a Librarian, but after being offerred a job in the Bank , it became my chosen career path for 18 years in Salisbury, Rhodesia and in Durban and Cape Town, South Africa and subsequently, I worked in a Cash Office in England. I have always felt the neccessity to accomplish something in life, and as a result, I wrote and illustrated the two children's books and I have also had patents granted for two inventions which I wrote and illustrated without the help of a Patent Attorney. The stories become alive to me as I can visualize the characters and the events that are taking place on paper. I already have ideas for the sequels, and an added bonus is that as I lived in Africa and as I have travelled to numerous countries ; I can, therefore, draw on life's experiences. My father was an unpublished short story writer, so, perhaps the yearning to be an Author runs in the blood. I now live in England, I am a widow, I have one daughter and I work two jobs It appears that I have a tendancy to do most things in two's!
