I like writing stories and illustrating which brings out my creative side. I live in Te Aroha, New Zealand and am married. Also, I love animals, nature plus looking after my pets and enjoy going for walks. Although I have been through hard times in my fight against not getting cancer, my storytelling has inspired me.
Marilyn and George, with their dog Red, move into an old Miner’s Cottage that needs renovating. Unbeknownst to them the house is haunted.
The story is told through the eyes of Marilyn who is psychic. Marilyn feels uncomfortable when in the old spooky shed. She can feel something lurking.
Will the shocking past unreel and uncover the answers to the haunting?

I started writing my first book Haunted Happenings while recovering from having my bowel removed with IRA surgery to stop me getting cancer. My novella book Haunted Happenings is based on the old Miners Cottage we used to live in with the spooky shed. Although it is listed as fiction, there is some spooky realism that I experienced in the book. The story is told by Marilyn, and I wanted the reader to experience her feelings like they were there living the experience.

My Pre-School book Pugs And Hugs is inspired by my dogs Pugsy, Goofs and Teddy. My intention was to add humour which did occur naturally as they say Pugs are the clowns of the dog world. Also, I aimed to bring out the characters and give an insight into their behaviour which is perfect for dog loving children and the amusement of the storyteller reading the book.
