I am an author, a teacher of French and a singer. 
Travelling, dancing and cooking for friends and family are my passions. 
I enjoy photography too, and seek unusual subjects. 
Getting to know people, and connecting with unknown and new folk during my travels, has helped add a richness to my stories, which is imperative. A new facet emerges from every encounter, and a uniqueness of texture that cannot be made up. Life has a lot to offer, and living it with joy (which isn't always easy) and gratitude is something I've learnt over the years, through the experience of parenting, teaching and family life and simply breathing in whatever is on offer.
