Welcome to my Writing World |
I like writing about the extraordinary in ordinary daily life; recording everything as though through fresh eyes. I write in many different genres including biography, fiction, poetry, magazine columns, gardening books, TV scripts, and children's books. I now nurture beginning writers to achieve their best work and then help them to place their work with a publisher. In the past two years several of my students have won prestigious awards that have included publication with international publishers. Many have become published authors. All have learnt how to proudly place their thoughts on paper.

Lifestyle Books |
After thirty years of growing up I met Virginia Pawsey at a Gisborne Girls’ High School reunion and we promised to write to each other describing our different lives; hers as a hill country farmer in North Canterbury and mine as an inner city office worker. Our common bond was our love of gardening and food. We kept our promise and our emails led to four popular books and a regular column in NZ House and Garden magazine. These exchanges on common life events, like motherhood, family, love and loss, work-life balance, the meaning of life, and of course food and gardens, resonate with both city and rural people. |

Books for Children |
Below is a sampling of my many books for children. I love the enthusiasm, humour, and energy of children and try to reflect that in both my writing style and content. There is nothing more satisfying than hearing a child giggling over a story you have written or seeing a child engrossed by the drama unfolding on the page.
