Biography

I have been teaching and studying in Asia. Starting, accidentally, in China.

China was the first country I visited that I could not guess what a sign said unless it was a picture (well - usually I understood the pictures). Oh the mistakes I made, and the funny results! Nearly everyone Chinese I met was excited that I was trying to learn Chinese, but some were more excited to practice English with me. And really, that was fine.

Before life in Asia I drew and wrote, entered contests, won some of them. Then I went to work in an office managing people and projects. The drawing and writing always stayed with me.

Now, I'm writing children's books. I'm also doing more artwork (as you can see by my profile image). Oh, and I'm not working in an office now!

Smashwords Interview

What motivated you to become an indie author?
Terror!
I was terrified of the agent-publisher-deadline process. I really wanted it, but after researching it all I just couldn’t face it. It just seemed too complicated for me. So indie author was the way to go. After all, I thought having to create stories for students in Asia, I understood the process of self-publishing. (In reality I did not really understand!) I’m learning every day.
What's the story behind your latest book?
Ah. “Where’s My Tail?” The story is based on something that happened when I worked in a kindergarten.

One of the girls had lost her shoes (her expensive good shoes) somewhere in the school. With other students we went looking for her shoes. This was during a school-wide program, and it's normal NOT to wear shoes in school.

I had visions of picking up 150 pairs of black shoes and asking her if it was hers, and visions of the three students helping doing the same thing. But no one touched a pair of shoes – only looked. As we walked around she remembered where her shoes were, and all was good.
