I’ve been a lawyer, a Wife and a Mum. In fact, I’m still all of those things plus, recently, a very proud Grandma!
In this chapter of my life, I’m a writer too. Travel mostly but also fiction. I have one published child’s first reader book with some children’s picture books at various stages of production.
If you’re interested in working together or seeing more of my published stories, get in touch. I love to chat!

With streets to scour and hope running thin, this emotional true-to-life story explores loyalty and the unbreakable bond between humans and their pets.
Based on a true story, this is a child’s first reader.

know me
I‘m a Melbourne-based writer. I began writing creatively after selling my business and retiring to enjoy the next chapter of my life.
With a life-long love of storytelling and the time and space to finally explore storytelling, I started writing travel stories and having them published. I also started writing fiction - mainly short stories and children’s stories.
When one of my adored Golden Retrievers , Harry, went missing, I wrote a children’s book about my family’s hunt for him. Announcing the arrival of my first book - When Harry Got Lost.
