I have always loved words, but it was not until several years ago that I began writing seriously after a writing course at my local Community Centre. I always been interested in why people behave the way they do. Perhaps it was because I was the second youngest of seven children and learned to live with siblings’ different personalities as I grew up.

Author is President of the Society of Women Writers in Victoria, Australia and through this medium I have improved my writing as I learn from others. Although writing for some eight years, this is my debut novella.

There is a story in every one of us waiting to be shared – one just needs a tap on the shoulder to awaken an ability to put pen to paper.
