Profile Information

Who I am:
I am 32 years old, living in Cape Town, South Africa. I am a single mother of a 13 year old boy who is quadriplegic and wheelchair bound. I wrote my first book, Warrior on Wheels, as a way to teach him about his life and his challenges in a way that would also be a fun adventure/fantasy story. It was also my first attempt at illustrating.

In 2011 I participated in NaNoWriMo and wrote my 50,000 word novel, Harvesting Acorns, in 28 days. It is still in the editing process and as yet unpublished.
