Born August 10th 1949, I was fortunate to have the opportunities bestowed upon me by my parents. As a child, attending ballet school allowed me to become a professional dancer and working in big stage production with known celebrities; attending drama school helped me gain parts in amateur and professional theatre; television and films; attending singing classes gave me the qualities necessary to perform in operas.
At the same time I followed a career in which my father saw potential, as he was a brilliant architect and engineer in his time and so encouraged me in that field. Years later I became an architectural and interior designer.
This continued from Singapore, to the UK, NZ and Australia.
But there was still another yearning, and that was to write children's books. Being creative in my past fields gave me the ability to write as ideas poured out and characters came to life.
Sometimes you do not gain world success in all the things that you want. But somehow writing these stories has introduced my past life experiences on paper; with the ultimate goal of seeing one of my books turned into a film.
I have written five children’s books so far. “Francis The Horse That Is,” is the first to be published as I have several sequels waiting
My aim is to bring something unique, healthy, humorous and innocent with educational values for today’s and tomorrow’s children.
Through my work I have maintain a constant love of all animals which builds a strong bond for children to relate to in some way. Children and animals share a joy of innocence which goes hand in hand, demonstrating love in a pure and natural manner. I hope my books will allow each child to use their imagination and travel side by side with their favorite friend as they witness their mischievous ways.
