Even at primary school I dabbled with poetry and stories, loving English as one of my favourite subjects. Fast forward to adulthood, and after motherhood and a couple of career changes I became a self-employed bookkeeper and business manager. Lifestyle and commitments meant that my writing became limited to business correspondence, policy documents, and grant funding applications on behalf of my clients.
I have always dreamed of writing a book, but had no idea where to start or what genre might work for me. By chance, a friend was given a plush possum and she began taking photos of it in the natural surroundings of our camping and gem-fossicking trips in Queensland, Australia. Squashum was joined by Blue at the Qantas Founder's Museum gift shop and the unlikely partnership was born. My friend and I have had more than 20 magazine articles published in the Australian Gold, Gem and Treasure magazine over the last 3 years, which gave me hope that someone wants to read what I write!
I have always felt strongly about family, family values and traditions, and now that I am a grandma I have a desire to write wholesome stories for children that reinforce positive, healthy activities, and kindness toward others as a way of life.view less
