I was born in Murwillumbah in 1958. When I was thirteen, I was diagnosed with scoliosis. There my schooling ceased as I went into hospital. After my operations and treatment I came out at the other end aged sixteen. After numerous jobs, my best achievements are my children. I live a simple life looking after and reading to my granddaughter and like nothing better than to have coffee with my family. I enjoy bike riding, walking, reading and watching Australian movies, and all kinds of music. I started writing late in life. It was something I always wanted to do. I now live in a seaside town called Kingscliff.
