About

Mt. Kilimanjaro. That’s me in the balaclava. And yes – I was asleep on a rock.

I am a freelance writer.
I live in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand, but still like to claim my birth heritage.

I was born in the land of Banjo Paterson, gum trees, and weather extremes.

Grew up in Sydney and Wollongong. Left to explore the wilds of Africa, doing a detour that had me living in Holland for 3 years.

Eventually returned to Oz – living in Queensland, where you need instructions if you are to survive.

In 1993 packed up and headed to the land of the long white cloud, which is not true.

Summers here are astoundingly beautiful and blue.

Now the kids have gone out to explore life – well for once it is all about me.

Graduated with a Bachelor of Communications from Massey University in 2008. Other than the birth of my children it was the most defining moment of my life.

I live with a demented fox terrier called Chevvy, 2 cats, a female named Jack and a male named Charlie, as well as a cockatiel named Crash.

I am writing my first novel, as well as poetry, short stories, and more recently articles, e-books, and web-pages for a website.

Art, stories, poetry, music, people, animals, nature, sometimes the smallest things can be the source of the biggest inspiration.

The softest whisper, the wind blowing across the grass, the sun warmed sand under your feet, the taste of rain on your tongue – life is the biggest inspiration of all.

I am also slightly obsessed with the TV show Supernatural, The Boys, and the Impala.

Please get to know me through my pages here.

A recent one of me…

I would love to hear any thoughts you have an any of the pages or blog posts I have written.

I desire to become a better writer, and critique/critique/critique has been the best tool for me so far.

So tell me what you think !!

I look forward to reading your comments.
