Hi

Not a lot to tell, although I have a lot to be glad for! I've been happily married to the same man for 38 years, and we have two grown up sons.

I had breast cancer five ago, had the ops, the chemotherapy, the radiotherapy, went bald, got my hair back, and found the whole thing (apart from the initial fear) to be completely positive. I've since had a slight recurrence, had the chemo, lost the hair, and it's coming back again.

I've written a fantasy novel for older children, which I finished just as Harry Potter hit the bookshelves. Mine is so different that I knew that then was not the time to approach publishers! However ...

I also have a humorous history which I started when I was 17, and which I have recently finished writing with my friend, Terri Gillett, who is like my twin and has the same sense of humour, and who has also illustrated it. It's now self-published with Matador and is called The Pharaoh Letters. I have also written a children's 'read' with parent book, a humorous diary, and several short stories.

Writing is such a part of who I am. It fills me with wonder, freshly every day, that I can create people and situations and commit them to paper.

I have an Albert Einstein quote on a scroll on the wall behind me in my study ... "Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited, imagination encircles the world."
