I am a multi-dimensional wordsmith and musician with eclectic skills, tastes and interests, including a penchant for floral dresses and Art Deco floral china. I live in beautiful, coastal Perth, Western Australia, with much of my adulthood spent on in or near the vibrant historic port city of Fremantle. Like many women who are also mothers, I strive for a balance between social connection, relationship, family life, and the essential alone time that re-energises me and infuses my writing. I've written many songs, poems and on-fiction articles. The Saltwater Goddess is my first novel.
