ABOUT THE AUTHOR

I was never one of these people who was born to be a writer, as I convinced myself that writing didn't come naturally to me. Then suddenly (well, not actually suddenly – 50 years later), I had a chance to write a friend’s memoir and thought I would give it a go. WOW, who knew at 65 years of age, I was a writer. I found it one of the most enjoyable things I have ever done!


All I can say is thank God for professional grammar and spellcheckers, and I was off! I found the thought process of writing a book quite easy. I think my lack of writing experience initially made it hard to find my groove. Nevertheless, I persisted with the writing, and to my surprise, I had written most of my first book’s 80,000 words in about eight weeks. It then took me several months to get it just as I wanted.
