I am an Australian author and accredited editor with more than 20 years in publishing. After editing educational books in Melbourne, I became managing editor/publisher of a magazine in Hong Kong (Asia Precious), where I reported on the diamond and jewellery industry for Asia and Europe.

I taught Writing, Editing and Publishing at Curtin University, Perth. I've had about 50 articles published in publications based in Hong Kong, Perth and Melbourne, and was awarded a Master of Creative Writing from the University of Canberra. I am past president of the Society of Editors (WA), a member of the Australian Society of Authors and Writing WA, and past assistant editor, indigo literary journal in Western Australia. I live in Perth, Western Australia. I've published three books: Beyond Home, Senses of Paris and My River Sanctuary.
