I have always dreamed of writing. Sometimes I find myself wandering around talking out stories. As a child I would write short stories. If I didn't let my mother rewrite them, she would tear them up. So, my dreams were put on hold. I realise now that I suffered from ADHD, which wasn't talked about or understood.
My family did have a galah called Bobby. A lot of scenes in this story are very much like Bobbee. My life has gone in many directions, but this story had to come out. I like travelling, helping out my community and bragging about my grandchildren. Although I write with a computer, I'm glad it has a spell checker as I am not that good. I read a lot, try to exercise, love cooking and I am growing a vegetable garden.
