I have enjoyed a variety of businesses, includinging 2 art galleries, a bistro,, a giclee printing company and now I am involved as director, producer and writer of films, which I am enjoying.. I hope perhaps to turn this story into a film, the script has long been written.

While in South Africa living on the white beaches in Bettys Bay in the Cape I built a small cottage that was my delight, throwing a net for crayfish and octopius while hunting for mussels at low tide to go with a chilled white wine, where I penned this novel slowly over the years and loved every minute of it, recollectiing my curiosities from my childhood growing up in Cape Town and the many cultures and Peoples I enjoyed meeting,socializing and forming lasting friendships before the end of aprartheid.

I am currently working on creating an audio book which I hope to post here soon. Naturally wishing it to be as I hear it in my mind to be relayed to others.

Any creative idea that comes accross my taable I investigate, the mind ever hungry for creativity
