| 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.
