At last, I'm here again! .....  It's been a busy year or so after moving house and venturing into other things which demanded most of my time and energy causing my writing to take a backburner; but as with everything left on simmer gradually the pot exploded and I can no longer contain the words floating around my mind. And finally For Changing Times Tertiary Edition has been released so is now available via lulu.com/crocs . If you've visited my writings before then I hope you are well and would like to say thanks for passing by again but if this is your first visit then welcome! MY HISTORY After a battle like no other battle, I fought for my sanity, my life and my children. We finally freed ourselves from our dictator and although a victory may have been in hand, we were left with crumbled foundations and the desperate need to rebuild our lives and ourselves. With so much to talk about and no one by my side to talk to I turned to writing and a world beyond the four walls with only the boundaries of my mind to encase it. With a number of books, articles and poems published I have shown my children, no matter who you are and where you come from, you CAN achieve whatever you want in life. My children no longer say "my mum is a single parent" they are proud to say "My mum is a writer" and list my most recent work. They all aspire to achieve great things since I began to write and that in itself is the greatest reward - inspiration! MY FUTURE Who knows what the future holds but I am certainly going to strive to achieve a better future than our past. Life is a gift and every moment of it should be appreciated.   And talking of gifts, not only have I five of the most fantastic children in the world, I now have two wonderful grandsons - wow!
