Bringing it all together...
I am a Mum of four and a Grand Mum, a former coach and intrepid explorer of personal and spiritual growth and development; now a writer inspired by life, living in Pembrokeshire on the west coast of Wales with my best friends, husband Ant and our dog Cubby – AKA Jacob.
Having spent the greater part of my life involved with helping others to make positive change, I continue to share my experiences and the insights I find along the way.
Inspired to write children’s stories
Putting some of my favourite things together was for me a plan made in heaven; nature, animals, reading great books and writing. Having spent much of my life with our four children immersed in nature, playing and reading stories with them, it was not just a happy coincidence that I started to write stories of my own.
I was filled with inspiration to write my first story by the circumstances that surrounded me at the time, it appeared that life was showing me not only a way to change my life but it also presented me with great characters, a story-line and plot.
Looking back I can remember sitting down to write my first story. Those first hesitant sentences thinking to myself, do you really think you can write a story? Doubt is no friend to any endeavour as you probably know, so luckily I ignored it.
It did take me a while to really get into the flow of writing the story and sometimes I did get stuck. At times a sentence or paragraph got sticky…but with a little patience I won through. Ideas flowed, chapters opened and closed in the most delightful way. Writing was and still is very exciting and I really enjoy the adventure along with my characters.
To be honest, I find writing stories absolutely magical and it is a little dusting of magic that I like to include.
