About

I am an experienced writer and Author of dozens of books and thousands of poems. I have been writing for many years, specializing in poetry and stories for young readers and am a qualified school teacher with two degrees, with majors in English and Drama. I'm one of 9 children with two grown children of my own and have been happily married for 25 years. I love to write stories which engage my readers with wonderful characters you can easily identify with. I love stories about personal growth in the context of the broader complex world. I draw on real world life experiences when writing my characters in their stories and try to capture the spirit of adventure, loyalty and courage in every adventure.

Story Behind The Book

The book started as a single poem. Then I wrote the Prologue based on a visual image I had in my mind about an orphaned little fairy quite unlike any other. Then I decided to make her black to completely distinguish her from the other fairies. From there I wrote a first draft, followed by a second and third and then hired the services of an editor. The book has since been through a few incarnations and is now ready for the public.
