So it all started in 1991, but then it stopped. šŸ›‘ The wish to become a writer never left me though. I started a memoir as part of my therapy journey in 2014 and, at the same time, I started writing picture books again.

Over time, I have written picture books for specific children as a teacher, Psychologist and Play Therapist, but never shared them wider.

I started a novel, Seen and Not Heard, in 2017, revisited it in 2020, but have yet to edit again.

Where should I focus my energies? That’s my problem as I only have limited time. This is due to my full time job as a Child and Educational Psychologist and being a mummy to two high-spirited individuals 🤣


I have decided to prioritise making connections via www.Twitter.com 🐦, entering competitions like #PBparty and #50preciouswords and joining groups such as #12x12 2021, #write-mentor and #SCBWI to keep me focused and motivated.


I have learnt about ā€˜querying’ and ā€˜pitching,’ which were all new buzz words for me. I’ve enjoyed tweeting and being retweeted on 🐦I’ve written two picture book texts this week so it feels like the momentum is building...
