I am a 42 year old Mother who enjoys reading and writing. I would never presume to imagine my work being anything than palatable - while simplistic and hopefully entertaining.
Growing up with my Grandma who easily became engrossed in a book [to the point where she gave my younger brother permission to set me on fire!!!] and her daughter - my Aunt - I draw a lot of my inspiration from the people and situations I have found myself in...
Poetry has always been my passion and the only way I felt comfortable expressing my emotions - which was a hard thing to do when you grew up in a home where 'talking back' and 'being cheeky' wasn't met with enthusiasm. This lead to at least one poetry award in the past.
I never gave up on my dream, and I write now for the pleasure of writing. The only validation I seek is that of my own peace of mind, I can say: I've done it.
Without the support of my husband and daughter - and the various readers who continue to support me, I may very well not have achieved as little as this... So a big thank you to you too!
