About the author

I am a mainstream and indie author, of various genres. My personal preference is children's fiction.
I was first published aged 8 but had to wait for almost 40 years before being picked up by a mainstream publisher. In between I published short stories and poetry in many different magazines. Today, well past my sell-by date, I prefer to concentrate on Ebooks of which I have at present well over 30 from adult fact and fiction, poetry to children's and young adult fiction.
My latest work is a joint author book in which US author, Al Molaison, and I share childhood memories of WWII from both sides of the Atlantic.

Reviews

[ALM Molaison]

For me, Time Line is a good but curious book. I like fantasy, and the movement between times captures my attention. The past in Time Line is WW11, and like Lucy, I lived through it (my father, a PFC, died in England) so I have curiosity as to the author's handling. She handled it well enough to bring back some of my American memories of blackouts. But the central focus of the story is the crippled family of Hazel. An absent Father, a mentally ill Mother, and a domineering, nasty Aunt are the family members that create the non-functioning family. The grandmother, through her counseling of Hazel, her love of her daughters, and her relationship to Lucy, creates the atmosphere that begins the healing process. The reconnection of father, mother, and Hazel is touching. But Gran's healing touch for Aunt Jayne makes the family's move to normalcy possible. Books that help the young address personal, family problems ought to be must reading
