I am an Associate of the Guildhall School of Music, London and have a Post Graduate Certificate of Education. About ten years ago I trained as an Early Years music educator and after that I worked with family and school groups mostly ranging from babies to Year 3 but also through to Year 6. I have organized and delivered training sessions for Early Years teachers, helping them to expanding their expertise in delivering music through Early Years resources using Traditional Nursery Rhymes, Songs and Literary Texts of all genres. This has not only necessitated researching and using a variety of traditional and contemporary texts but it has also inspired me to expand my story telling, move away from the music bias and create new material. This latter, is what I love to do.
Since retiring I have found myself at the computer daily, doing the thing I love: writing. I enjoy tapping into children's imaginative world, writing about things that make children laugh and think. When they laugh, they learn.
As for travel: music has taken me to many countries and given me opportunities to experience many fascinating cultures. Some of my stories have been inspired by the island of Cyprus where I lived from 1989 to 1995.
Animals have played an important part in my life. I love cats in particular. At one time I owned, or should I say, was adopted by 7 cats and a dog. I have four cats......at the moment.
These stories are dedicated to my gorgeous twin grandchildren who are, at the time of writing, 8 and a half yrs old.view less
