A fascination for life and beauty
My passion for writing and creating stories began from a young age, where I loved nothing more than writing stories into my special A4 lined exercise book.
I remember my English teacher reading out one of my stories to the whole class and encouraging me to keep writing. Later in life, I went on to study creative writing at evening class.
My favourite place to write is in my lounge when the house is quiet and my kids are out (though have learnt to write around noise!).
I have always been an avid reader from the first moment I could read, and some of my favourite authors are Kate Moreton, Santa Montefiore, Philippa Gregory, and Nicholas Sparks to name a few. Any book that grips me, will always pull me in.
Around writing and family life, I also work part time as a Teaching Assistant at a local primary school, every day encouraging the budding talent of our future writers.
I'm married, and we have two gorgeous children. I'm loving being in my 40s and highly recommend it!
My other passions include photography, travelling and pencil drawing. I ran my own photography business for a few years and had my photos exhibited.
I've been fortunate enough to visit many countries around the world, yet Ireland still remains one of my all time favourite countries. What an amazing world, full of God's beauty and creation, we live in...
Whether I am writing stories, photographing or drawing, everyday men and women with all their amazing complexities will always fascinate and inspire me.
