At the age of eighteen, I got married to my first husband and had two children to him. The marriage ended, and I was on my own, bringing up two kids for five years. Then I met my second husband. We got married and had three children together. In 2002 we moved to Western Australia. In 2007 I started writing stories. They were passed around for friends to read, and they told me I should get them published. I did nothing about it until 2016.view less
