I have been writing for many years with pieces published in magazines and newspapers, but this is my first published book. A second one is coming out in the New Year. It is called Travels of a Garden Gnome and is a fun geography book for children.
I am a schoolteacher at Holy Spirit College, Lakemba in the Special Education Department. I am also the Secretary of an animal charity – Domestic Animal Birth-Control Society (DABS) which helps those in need to have their pets desexed at a reduced rate.
