I'm married with three adult children who are all happy and
settled into their own lives now.I was once a semi professional singer but as my parents insisted, I needed something to fall back on and they were probably
right, although I didn't think so at the time! So I qualified as a Primary school teacher and went on to have a much wanted family.Life didn't really
turn out as planned when I developed epilepsy and now have entered another new world. This one has many highs as
well as lows and I've gained wonderful friends.My horizons have expanded once more.
I write poetry and have two of my own poetry websites. I have work published over the internet on websites and online magazines. I also have poems published in
print in two respected journals and very soon
another is to be published in a respected
american magazine.
I was recently diagnosed with Progressive Ataxia and it's another hill to climb but I'll get
there!
My Interests
Writing poetry and reading poets such as Brian Patten, Maya Angelou, Gwendoline Brooks, Edna St Vincent Millay and Sylvia Plath,
among many others.I read books across a wide range, from Pat Barker to Jane Austen. I sing and listen to my favourite blues and folk, play the guitar and have
a very eclectic taste in music.
