Welcome to my Website. 

I live in the beautiful Eastern Cape of South Africa with my pastor husband Rob, a budgie named Sparkie and an ever-increasing family of tropical fish.

I am mother to three grown children, mother-in-law to three others and granny to four ranging from 3-17 years 

My articles have appeared in a wide range of publications internationally. I found my training as a registered nurse both a blessing and a handicap when I faced an intense struggle with cancer. Much of my writing and almost half of this website is geared to helping cancer survivors and their carers.

I have been an avid bookworm since toddler days and usually have a number of books on the go at the same time. In whatever free time I manage to find, I make greeting cards, play one of several musical instruments, or take long walks with my husband. Many of the photos taken during these walks end up in the gallery pages of this site.

My present writing project is a book of devotions for cancer survivors, patients undergoing treatment and their carers. If you are an editor or agent please feel free to check out samples of my writing as well as some of my published clips or contact me with any questions.

 Vote of thanks: to my son, Steve, who decided it was time for my website to have a new look. Steve, I love it! Thank you so much
