Back in the days before TV had remote controls and Scotland was known for the Bay City Rollers I left Australia on a working holiday and fell in love with many things Scottish, along with belly dancing.  

When I discovered Belly dancing I discovered a way to feel good which didn't involve the gym, holding in my stomach or a bottle of wine.  Alone and in a bad place belly dancing is what got me up in the morning, and started me thinking that if belly dancing could change my life, could it change others? Perhaps there was a story or two there? At the time I was trying to become a writer and had the idea of writing for Mill and Boons the only problem was that everything I wrote ended in a joke.  Nefertiti's presence was felt and her story had to be told. 
 
Since then I have written lots of comedy, the odd radio play and I still dance- often accompanied by storytelling and the odd joke. In fact my stories have been inflicted on many- including the Edinburgh free fringe, several rest homes and pretty much anyone who sits still long enough to listen.
