I am a lover of reading, music, wild places and travel and write non-fiction (stories about people with brain disorders) and fiction ("bookclub") from my home on a remote island off the coast of New Zealand. Until recently I held a university professorial position in clinical and neuropsychology. In the NZ winter I travel for 3 to 4 months, usually to warm places and often to remote places. My husband and I have 4 children and 5 small grandchildren all of whom are avid readers, or picture book lovers (the one-year-old).
