I trained as a Medical Technologist (Clinical Pathology). Much later - to keep my daughter company - Idid a BA degree majoring in English and Psychology. This was followed by an Honours degree in English and some teaching diplomas. I am now retired from teaching and pursing my writing career. I consider my daughter and son and their families as the greatest joy in my life. I have the honour of calling some of the best people on the planet - friends. I live in Rustenburg South Africa with my cats and dogs.view less
