I was born in the United Kingdom and emigrated to Australia in my teens.

I worked on a racehorse property below the Great Dividing Range in Victoria. I was living the dream, while reading books by Wilbur Smith and Dick Francis. My love of writing emerged early in my life.

While living in Hong Kong in the nineties, I attended creative writing courses and became involved in writing for club magazines including The Belgian Hong Kong Society and the South China Diving Club’s ”Buddyline”

On returning to Australia life once again carried me away from writing and it wasn’t until a move to a rural property in the Adelaide Hills, South Australia, with my husband Peter, whose photographs appear on my website, and our Bearded Collies, Elsa and Kuura, that my passion for writing was reborn.
