About

Writing is a passion and an important outlet in my life. I was born in Belgium, immigrated to South Africa where I lived for fifteen years, before finally settling in Toronto, Canada. As the saying goes, ‘Life is a journey,’ and I try to use all of my varied experiences and exposure to diverse cultures to enrich my writing.

Another passion in my life is a deep love of animals. Mysterious and mystical felines are especially close to my heart, and I use my writing to bring awareness to their issues. The importance of spaying/neutering and support of animal rescue organizations are causes I champion as often as I can.

My book entitled, Kitten Diaries is now available on-line. It contains two ‘almost’ true and humorous kitten adventure tales. Chanel’s Story opens the book and is about my wonderful cat, Chanel, and her version of when I adopted her from an animal shelter. Queeny’s Diary is little Queeny’s story of when she is left with friends - and a houseful of other cats - while her owners go on vacation.

My next two projects will be children’s stories with cats and even a ferret as characters, followed by an expose of temporary workers in the workplace. If you think you know what it means to have a temporary job, think again.

My son and I live with our five cats and three fish. When not writing, I enjoy reading and ten-pin bowling.

Based on Ms. Manero's adoption of her beloved cat, Chanel, many will read her story and perhaps discover similarities to a shelter pet of their own. Chanel's Story enriches, amuses and informs readers while putting the spotlight on the importance of animal shelter adoptions. <br /><br />The second Kitten Diary story is again based on a true experience by the author. In it we meet the Ragdoll breed kitten, Queenie. What happens when her owners go on vacation and she becomes a house guest in a home filled with other cats? You won't be disappointed with this engaging adventure story.
