I am a South African writer of fantasy - largely geared at teens, but adults do insist on reading my books. I am thrilled with this, because I support the idea of keeping your inner-child alive. I am the middle of three sisters, bilingual, staunchly South African, an obsessive recycler and an avid tourist (but a terrible photographer). When I'm not writing, travelling or digging plastic out of the dustbin, I run a small electronic bookshop and provide friendly advice and manuscript prep services to aspiring authors.
