I was born in Paisley, Scotland, in 1953. My parents encouraged me in many ways despite my attempts to frustrate them, and from an early age I always considered writing……but not too seriously as it would interrupt my general enjoyment of life.

In 1986 during a period of enlightenment, following a disastrous first marriage, I was drawn into a career in nursing. The NHS was never the same again. However life itself had thrown a few spanners in the works, some of which may well be covered in an auto-biography. Hopefully, it will make for some very interesting reading, but meantime I have created a series of humorous, well observed and informative travel books. These may be based on cruise ships but the information is suited to all travelers. 

My husband, Tom, will probably earn your sympathy during this quirky and irreverent tale of 104 days travel. I had already enjoyed several other cruises and moved house equally frequently, so this is intertwined in the plot.

Please support me as an independent author.

I am currently working upon my autobiography which I hope to publish in 2018.
