Born in England, I came to Australia as a toddler. During my school years I loved reading and was influenced by Enid Blyton. My first novel was written when I was only 8, but where that has gone is a mystery. During my secondary school years, I expanding my interests into music. My love of reading continued. Finally I studied at Adelaide (South Australia) University, obtaining my Degree in Music, then followed up with a post-graduate course in education. My working life consisted of teaching English, Music and Social Studies. Although I have now retired from the school system, I still teach Music, and have taught English in China, and will later this year, continue that adventure in Cambodia. I began writing seriously about 10 years ago, and love to educate my young readers with regard to the animals and beauty of the environment on this Earth. I abhor the violence and grunge found in today's children's books, and endeavour to make my stories interesting, enchanting and pleasant.
