My hometown is Perth in Western Australia and as a published author l have called Australia my home for many years. I was born in New Zealand and for a good part of my life living in Australia I have had  several successful businesses in the food industry.

Travel has always been part of who I am and I’ve explored many corners of the world.  I spent 16 unforgettable years living in Europe, experiences that have shaped not only my outlook on life but also my writing.

I have been writing poetry for several years now.  My poems are drawn from real life, the setbacks, the love, the laughter and the quiet strength it takes to keep moving forward. They’re honest words, sometimes light-hearted, sometimes raw but always with the hope of connecting with you, the reader, like a chat with a friend.

I hope you enjoy reading the book as much as I’ve enjoyed writing it.
