ABOUT ME

I am a mother and best friend to three girls. I truly love my life and every person who has ever touched it with unconditional love, and I am grateful for all their support in my endeavours. I am now a grandmother to three granddaughters.

I am a new author and started writing seriously after having a traumatic event in my life and having a nervous breakdown to boot. My physical and mental health suffered greatly and now six years later, hand on heart, I can honestly say I am not the self-driven O.C.D. perfectionist I was before.

I kinda had spiritual enlightenment, some counselling, and time, lots of time on my hands. I could have quit, and sank deeper into depression but I didn't. I am lucky enough to have three wonderful caring and considerate daughters who witnessed my decent into hell and back, and a family who never left my side. I pulled myself up by my bootstraps and hit life head on again like the Taurean bull I am.​

I have always written a journal of sorts, spasmodically, and the days of staring into thin air became times of inspiration. At first I was scared to show others my work. The last thing I needed was criticism that cuts you to the soul. I needn't have worried, only but a few people gave me critique that knocked my confidence and I began to grow as a writer.

I am not very well educated, only secondary school and college at forty doing a creative writing course and gaining a certificate in counselling skills. I read a lot, anything and everything and I take notes everywhere, for use later in my my writing efforts.

I am on this site looking to meet and make some friends abroad with a view to sharing , exchanging holidays etc as families. I am particularly drawn to the US especially Oregon for its beauty and countryside. I live in a rural 'shire' in the Midlands of the UK near some of its most beautiful countryside. Look forward to meeting some likeminded souls.
