I've been a writer all my life, but I only thought to become an author in 2013 after a 6 month pilgrimage around England changed my life. It was a dream that did it...and if you want to know more about that you can find it in the pages of Tales of Our Times: my first book, and because of it, that 2000 mile walk, I learnt that I am a storyteller...of the tales people I meet tell me. I tell and write as folktale, modern tales of the mythic qualities in us all. My second publication was an anthology of my poetry "Searching for Love" - it's an e book waiting to become a real live paperback! It's illustrated by my paintings - poems and paintings are what happen when I am busy trying to write my books! Currently I am writing a mythic trilogy: a blend of non fiction, Celtic myth and Utopian fiction woven together with a real life heroine's journey to herself. Before becoming a pilgrim turned me into an author I was a teacher and still am, sometimes. If English isn't your first language and you want to practise I love meeting new people...and of course hearing their stories. Stories, that's me, that's why I exist, to hear & share your stories...
