About Me

The journey of writing a book is hard to describe, it makes you wonder what else is inside your head, as ideas come out and you have no conscious idea of where they came from. 

My life has had unexpected twists and turns and 40 years ago when I married my husband, I never expected to have had the experiences and adventures that we have shared together. 

The greatest of course being our three children, and their partners, who are all, the stars in our world. They in turn have blessed us with 6 grandchildren and the joy of these little ones holds no bounds. 

We have truly been blessed.

I hope you like my book, to write it was fulfilling, to show it to my family was scary(ha-ha), and to go the final step and put it out there is, for me an achievement of a goal I set myself and for that I am grateful.

I didn't know I was going to write a book. 

One day at a remote campsite in the outback, I met a girl named Emma and as we chatted about our interest in reading. Emma asked me, 'have you ever considered writing a book?' 

'Yes,' I said and told her the crazy start of one I had running around in my head. A simple question but one that came up again as we ran into Emma and her husband as you often do when travelling in Australia. 

Short story is that one horribly windy day as Emma and I sat outside our caravans covered in the red dust from outback the men growling because they couldn't go fishing, she looked at me and said 'go inside, write down that first chapter and I'll be back in an hour to read it!' 

That's where it began and an hour later I gave her three chapters that had literally poured out of my brain. Emma looked across at me 'Emma?' she said. I shrugged well you only gave me an hour I had to come up with a name for the lead character quickly! So that’s where it all began under a Million Stars...
