I am 69 years old and have done many things in my life, such as being employed in The City of London for several years, starting as a shorthand-typist and working my way up to Assistant Company Secretary.
I have lived abroad for certain periods in my life as my father was a petrochemical engineer. I lived in Trinidad at the age of 11 and we moved to Kuwait when I was 14. When the contract in Kuwait finished, we drove home to England by car, which was an adventure in itself, worthy of another book.
I am a true Brit, married to an Arab, with a 27 year old son and we had a holiday villa in Spain for many years. In 2002, we moved to the villa and when our savings ran out, we designed a boarding cattery from scratch and I am now writing a book about the experience. Whilst running the cattery, I was approached by the Euroweekly News to write articles about cats. I wrote many articles about cat behaviour, grooming, general cat care and then progressed to write the A-Z of cat breeds.
In earlier years, I attended creative writing classes and have written many short stories and am working on a novel set on another planet. This book "Planet Zu Tu" is about what happens to us when we die.
I love to read and am buying lots of books as mine are in storage and I feel lost, without lots of books around the home.
I am currently reading lots of Mills and Boon as I might write a romance one day. I have started one already about a young woman who breaks her leg and falls in love with her surgeon.
