There are people who come into our lives and open our hearts in ways we could never have imagined before meeting them. With Mars currently transiting my natal eighth house (sometimes called the house of death; though it’s more appropriate to call it the house of psychological transformation), the news of death came knocking on […]
I’m all for setting goals, writing lists, and making things happen. I’m a Capricorn! I know what it’s like to have your eye looking at the top of the mountain. When it comes to creating our dream life, it’s important to have a clear vision of our future. However, and this is perhaps where many […]
I am doing an author reading in Hampshire. Come along to the playing fields at Ringwood Waldorf School on Tuesday 18th August at 11am – 1pm, and bring a picnic. There is a plenty of parking, a wholefood cafe and shop, toilets, and also nearby walks, and it is 5 minutes from Moors Valley country […]
Do you love to cook? Maybe you are not a natural cook and each meal is a chore? Let me help you find the LOVE. My second recipe book has had a bit of an evolution, and most recipes that I planned to include have gone out the door. The book reflects my journey into […]

As a writer, I find it’s important to get away from the keyboard and live life. I am blessed with being a speed typist and someone who doesn’t suffer writer’s block, so when I come to the keyboard to write, that is precisely what I do. Having two daughters born twenty-two months apart […]
For twelve years I published a niche parenting magazine. If you’ve not ever read it, I can safely say it was a magazine you either loved or hated. It rested on the foundation of conscious parenting and prioritising the biological needs of children. I attracted a faithful readership, with some subscribers staying with my husband […]
Tomorrow I am officially launching my third novel, Sisters of the Silver Moon. I might be an Aussie girl in England, but it seems pretty appropriate to give birth to my literary baby on Independence Day. Being an independent author means freedom, but it also means taking responsibility for everything to do with your […]
Well, as far as lovely days go, this one certainly fits into that category. The weather alone is enough to send me into a state of bliss. I’m grateful for every second of this so-called heat wave. Of course, it’s nowhere near like my native Australia, but after almost seventeen years of shivering in Cumbria, […]
