I have worked in the communications field for almost twenty years and headed up the communications department at a large financial services organisation before leaving to teach and travel in the East for two years. Sitting down at my laptop one Sunday afternoon not too long after my return, I started an impromptu memoir of my time spent travelling and the writing bug bit.

I also enjoy interior design and live in a home where I'm surrounded by flowers and bright, happy colours. I share my living space with my much-loved Maltese girl, Shugie, and Oscar, a very naughty (but also very sweet) cat that decided to move in with me two and a half years ago.
