I love writing, gardening, fishing, dogs and family. Not necessarily in that order.... Depends on how the day goes. I feel passionately about social justice and have endeavoured to flavour my novels with this approach. My young heroine begins as an ego-centric teen, but quickly opens up to world experiences. I believe that Travel Broadens the Mind, but in these days of limited real-world travel opportunities, a good book can go a long way.
