WHO AM I
I was a criminal barrister and practised for fifteen years until I had my children. I found a niche in self publishing my own photographs and from there began to do the same for others and then began a small business self publishing over a hundred books for others. That took me on a journey from food writing to illustration, tutoring others to create and self publish their own books and as an exercise in learning digital marketing, created my own children's book for fun that had messages powerful enough to inspire and impress others and for now, here I am staying still and enjoying the images running through my head and the stories that spring from them and creating picture books with strong messages to help young children understand difficult emotions hopefully overcome or atleast cope with them.
