I'm author of two novels: The Songbird's Way and Look into the Eye.
I also head up a development agency which works with communities living in poverty in Africa, India and Latin America to identify priority needs and increase opportunities for sustainable livelihoods. My work takes me around the world - thankfully I love to travel!
I also love to get into the outdoors - the themes of my books are greatly influenced by nature and animals - whales, birds and trees so far! I believe that much can be learned by observing the natural world, and by paying attention to the lessons it can teach us. As a result, there are so many parallels between the natural world and the inner world of the characters in my novels.
Wildlife photography is one of my p

“Some leaders are born women.”

William Shakespeare
“The weight of this sad time we must obey,
Speak what we feel, not what we ought to say.
The oldest hath borne most: we that are young
Shall never see so much, nor live so long.”
William Shakespeare, King Lear

William Shakespeare
“Thou shouldst not have been old till thou hadst been wise.”
William Shakespeare, King Lear

William Shakespeare
“No, no, no, no! Come, let's away to prison:
We two alone will sing like birds i' the cage:
When thou dost ask me blessing, I'll kneel down,
And ask of thee forgiveness: so we'll live,
And pray, and sing, and tell old tales, and laugh
At gilded butterflies, and hear poor rogues
Talk of court news; and we'll talk with them too,
Who loses and who wins; who's in, who's out;
And take upon's the mystery of things,
As if we were God's spies: and we'll wear out,
In a wall'd prison, packs and sects of great ones,
That ebb and flow by the moon.”
William Shakespeare, The Tragedy Of King Lear (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition)
