1. Could you tell us a little bit about yourself?
I was born in Sydney Australia, but have resided in both Queensland & Auckland New Zealand, now living back on the beautiful Northern Beaches in Sydney.
Since the 1970’s, I have been interested in metaphysics & have studies in psychology, psychotherapy, NLP, naturopathic subjects & metaphysics, Reiki & various energetic healing.
I have raised two children, travelled to many countries & have an interest in ancient sites & energy centres. Having visited the Pyramids in Egypt, I am intending to visit Stonehenge & Avebury in the UK soon & hope to visit Machu Piccu soon.
I am currently holding energy workshops & enjoy helping people & donating 10% of proceeds of book sales & earnings to charities in support of animal welfare, youth off the street, abused women & children & others in need.

The book has been marketed through the publisher over the past two years & has been represented at most international Book Expos, the US media. I have a YouTube video, a page on Facebook for the book & Blog on my Blog pages & Twitter accounts & am looking at various other mediums. Yesterday I received an email confirming that “Confidence” has been approved by the Chinese government for release & sale in China.
6. How do you spend your time when you are not writing?
I am a natural therapist & enjoy counseling & helping people & also running my energy workshops. I live on a peninsular local to beautiful beaches & Pittwater & love nature & all it has to offer. I enjoy writing poems, some of which have been included in the book. I also enjoy sketching & look forward to more travel.
