Hello! As an Australian author I have
made the decision to write stories set in
Australia and use British English, so while some
of the spelling may have seemed weird to you, it
is just our Aussie way and being a little different.

Although I am now semi-retired from the
permanent workforce (so I can write books),
I spent most of my life nursing and teaching.
I had a career in agriculture (predominantly
horses) and went back to university at 30 to
become a nurse and got my PhD at 55 (it's never too late!).
I love the natural world, and as I get older,
I am appreciating the historical aspects of the
places I live and visit. I love family and friends,
animals from tardigrades to blue whales, and all
creatures in between. I love forests and oceans,
mosses and fungi, and most importantly, I love
making up stories where they can all be brought
to life on the pages I write.
