About meI am a full-time writer. My interests include literature, art, theatre, collecting antiques, animals, music, travel, and movies. I can't remember NOT having a book in my hand. My schoolmates called me a bookworm, and nothing's changed since then. I was brought up on the children's classics because my parents are also avid readers. Although I'm a journalist and editor, writing a children’s book — The Secret of the Sacred Scarab — was an unexpected step, inspired by a recent trip to Egypt. The tale of the sacred scarab began life as a little anecdotal tale for my 2 nephews (then 10 and 12), who had accompanied me on the Egyptian trip. This short story grew into a children’s book, the first in the adventure series, Chronicles of the Stone.
About my libraryI read both fiction and non-fiction and enjoy anything to do with ancient civilizations, history, voyages of discovery, and myths and legends. I particularly enjoy modern day adventures where ancient relics and amazing discoveries from the past features strongly. Thrillers, mystery and detective novels are also on my bookshelf. I guess I will read just about anything - I am open to new types of subjects and topics.

"I'd rather see a sermon
than hear one any day;
I'd rather one should walk with me
than merely tell the way.
The eye's a better pupil
and more willing than the ear,
Fine counsel is confusing,
but example's always clear;
And the best of all preachers
are the men who live their creeds,
For to see good put in action
is what everybody needs.
I soon can learn to do it
if you'll let me see it done;
I can watch your hands in action,
but your tongue too fast may run.
And the lecture you deliver
may be very wise and true,
But I'd rather get my lessons
by observing what you do;
For I might misunderstand you
and the high advice you give,
But there's no misunderstanding
how you act and how you live."
