Bio – Smashwords
After the event, I have discovered that early retirement is a good thing!
Suddenly I have time to discover how Smashwords works, I find I’m more computer literate than I thought. Most of my working life to date has been spent with people, not technology. First a teacher, then a specialist working with young people with severe and complex behaviour disorders. That of course, includes their families and sadly sometimes the disintegration of these families.
The last eleven years was spent running my own retail business where I employed fourteen women. Somedays I was business manager, other days, counselor and other days simply pulling my hair out trying to cope with it all!!
I’ve always been a story teller, though not always a story writer, now I have time to combine my love of language and people and share some of the knowledge and experience I have gained through the years.
Other important things in my life are my family and home where I indulge myself in gardening, beekeeping, playing music and attempting to paint pictures!
Life is good when you wake up in the morning.
