The Fun Stuff:

I grew up reading Enid Blyton books and Princess Tina magazines, and dancing in local pantomimes.  Despite the influence of Alistair MacLean, Indiana Jones and the first Star Wars movie, I studied enough to graduate from University.

It’s hardly surprising that I sought a career in the world of theatre and make-believe.  After twenty years as a stage manager, I tried to get an MBA and a decent grown-up job.  It didn’t happen; my academic writing was invaded by imaginary characters, so I took up writing fiction.  

After several attempts at churning out meaningful literature, I decided to write the kind of books that I like to read instead, as well as guest blogs and light-hearted articles. Three decades in the entertainment industry have supplied me with plenty of material!  

I share my life with two cats and a lot of books.  I no longer work as a stage manager, which means I spend more time writing, eating chocolate, watching movies and scrapbooking.  Just not all at the same time...  


The Bragging Stuff:

In 1982 I graduated from the University of Natal with a BA degree in English and Speech & Drama.  

In 2003 I graduated from the same University with a Postgraduate Diploma in Business Management, but didn’t stick around to do the full MBA. 

In 2007, I joined the South African Writers’ Circle, winning awards for Best New Writer that year, and Writer of The Year in 2008, 2009 and 2010.  

In 2009 I completed the postgraduate Creative Writing module of the English Honours course at the University of KwaZulu-Natal under the mentorship of award-winning author Michael Cawood Green.   

I also have an emailing list which will keep you informed about my publishing and other news. You can join it here and receive a free short story once your subscription has been confirmed.
