About the author

Sometimes I feel as if I have lived a hundred lives. You might recognise me as a craft author as I wrote a load of books about crafts back in the eighties and nineties. Or you may have heard my name associated with soap and skincare as, late in the nineties I created what became the largest handmade soap company in the UK. For the last fifteen years I have worked as a coach and business mentor to entrepreneurs wanting to build skincare business but at 72 I have decided to pivot yet again and my latest book "Your Age Is Your Business" (which you will find on Amazon and in good bookshops). really celebrates the gift of getting older and blows open the myth that we diminish rather than flourish when it comes to brain power and the ability to earn a serious living.
My purpose is to show those over 50 who are feeling unemployable or are bored with retirement that they can use the internet to sell what they have learned during their life journey.....and I'm nowhere near finished yet ! I'll let you know when I've decided what to do when I grow up.
