About

I'm a poet, children's author and teacher. My aim with my writing is to try to give people joy, laughter, some food for thought, and to try and bring some inspiring messages to my readers. I like to write poetry for adults and picture books/early readers. My first two books are stories in verse and have been inspired by my professional and personal life. The first book is called It's a Teacher's Life...! and my second book is called Family and More - Enemies or Friends?  which is available in paperback and Kindle, as well as Kindle apps for the iPhone, iTouch and iPad. The vision that inspired this book can be summed up as follows: every encounter we have in life can be a force for good and, if we see with the heart, we'll know that only man-made differences divide us. The fact that I come from a German/English background was a key factor in inspiring me to write this book. 

My third book is a children's picture book, entitled 'Pep, Polish and Paint'. The story is set in space (I've always been fascinated by space) and it involves a sun that's lost his shine and three spaceships. It's all about taking action and discovering the power within to achieve whatever you want to achieve.
