About Me
After many years of writing in private and sharing with no one, 2014 saw the very private recesses unleashed for all to see.
My first book, It's [Not] All About Liz!, co-written with three other family members, is the true story of my sister Liz's cancer journey, told through the eyes of the four family members. It follows the personal experiences of myself, Liz, our father, Joe, and Liz's daughter Clara.
Since releasing the book in March 2014, I have written several novels, personal essays and short stories.
Novelist, writer, storyteller, writing and publishing consultant, traveller and dreamer!
