ABOUT ME

I grew up in a house with 5 brothers and 2 sisters. Myself and my twin brother being the youngest of the pack. There was always plenty of adventure and mischief. I started writing poetry and short stories from a young age. I also spent hours every night sketching and painting. Although I am a confident person, I never had confidence in my art or ideas. I kept them safely locked away in the world of my notebooks for my eyes only.

THE BOOK

I always had a love for all things creative and a passion for books. It was a natural progression for me to write my own story. The idea for “The Happy Half-Moon Girl” originally came to me when my daughter as a new-born had to wear a cast for hip dysplasia. It went from her armpits to her ankles and it never bothered her. Because of the half-moon shape of the cast, I called her my Happy Half Moon Girl. The name stuck and a story quickly developed.
