| Biography | I was born in 1950 at Biloela, Queensland, Australia. After studying Drama and Art of Speech at high school, I joined the Twelfth Night Theatre in Brisbane, leaving to travel overseas. When my children were in school, I returned to writing and performing, working in schools, at festivals and other venues. As Founder, (and only member) of "The Mad Poet's Society", I am secretly invited to “gatecrash” weddings, parties, corporate meetings and other functions. I then encourage the guests to participate in word madness. My fun-filled, creative writing workshops help others (of all ages) to find a love of words so they can express their thoughts and feelings. |
