Who Am I?

I write stories inspired by family, love, cherished memories, and the little moments that make life extraordinary.

As a mother and grandmother with a large, beautifully blended family, I have spent a lifetime appreciating the delicate threads that connect us. Family relationships are rarely simple. They are woven from shared laughter, precious memories, unexpected heartaches, and sometimes different versions of the same story. It is within these deeply human experiences that much of my writing finds its inspiration.

My love of storytelling has also grown into a collection of children's picture books, inspired by the wonder, imagination, and simple joys of childhood. From everyday adventures with Nanny and Poppy to discovering Australian animals, farm life, and the outback, each book celebrates curiosity, connection, and the magic of learning through stories.

More recently, I have introduced a colourful range of early-learning books, helping little ones explore numbers, colours, opposites, and the world around them. Created with bright illustrations and simple, engaging concepts, these books are designed to encourage young minds to discover, learn, and smile along the way.

Whether writing about the complexities of family relationships or creating joyful adventures for little readers, my hope is that every book offers something meaningful—a moment of recognition, a treasured memory, or simply the pleasure of turning another page.

When I am not writing, creating illustrations, or getting lost in a good book, you can almost always find me near the ocean. Listening to the rhythm of the waves has always been my place of solace, grounding, and inspiration.

Just like the shifting tides, family connections can pull away, leaving a quiet, echoing space behind.

My debut work explores that very silence—and the enduring love that remains when the shore changes.

Stories inspired by love, family and the memories that stay with us.

Each of my books comes from a place close to my heart—some written for adults, others for little readers, but all celebrating the connections and memories that shape our lives.

From Nanny to Nobody

My Debut book

From Nanny to Nobody is a story born from the silence of grandparent estrangement.

There was a time when my world was full of little footsteps, bright voices, and three beautiful grandchildren who knew me simply as Nanny. For four precious years, I was part of their everyday lives—the preschool pickups, the sleepovers, the Christmas magic. Their toys and books are still waiting. And so am I.

This is not a story about blame. It is a story about different memories, unanswered questions, regret, love, and the longing to be heard. Most of all, it is a testament to a love that never disappeared. One day, I was their Nanny. And then… I became nobody. But I am still their Nanny. And I always will be.

From Nanny to Nobody is available now on Amazon.
