I belong to several writing groups and book clubs. I am an avid reader. I enjoy helping emerging authors and read the work of fellow authors, and they read mine. In this way we help each other get our plot lines in order and our characters believable.

I live in New Zealand. It looks isolated but with the internet we are moments away from anywhere in the world. A collection of islands we have a democratic government and produce a lot of food which we sell around the world. The population is seriously outnumbered by sheep and cows - and I'm still looking for the hobbits.

I hope you enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them.
