Bio

I have been writing for 30+ years and find it a beautiful self expression, reflection time and a space of calm. My first publication ‘From Chrysalis to Butterfly’ ( self-published) followed my separation and the transformational journey of personal development that enabled me to re-frame the experience. Several years into my second marriage I wrote ‘Enriching the Blended Family’ sharing Peter & my experience with four children, previous partners and the extended blended.
My current book which has been evolving over 8 years is exploring the motivation of 11 people whom I interviewed who have done extra-ordinary things. What values and beliefs drive their passion and what can we learn?
I journal regularly and enjoy capturing the changing moods of life. Having worked on my own I am keen to link up with other writers for support, inspiration and accessing resources.

I have finally published  my book: ‘Making a Difference: Eleven Inspiring Difference Makers” in February 2026 through Wipf and Stock, Oregon, after 14 years so feel very delighted to get to completion. Am currently planning several Launches in Mornington and Melbourne in April and May 2026.
