What is the biggest risk you've taken?
Probably giving up working for other people and deciding to try and make it as a writer.
What's your story?
I am a 42 year old writer, living in occasionally sunny but always beautiful Cornwall. I have three daughters aged 21, 19 and 15. I specialise in alternative remedies, health and people’s stories. Everyone has a story to tell. In a previous life I was a Community worker, which is essentially concerned with the empowerment of excluded and disadvantaged groups of people. I believe people can make a difference and work towards making changes for the better. These beliefs have inspired me to write. With my writing I would like to tell people’s stories, and raise awareness of areas of inequalities and discrimination. Other than writing, I love music, singing, and dancing. I enjoy reading and always have a book on the go. Living in Cornwall, I enjoy getting out to the sea, and walking in the countryside. But most of all I love getting together with all my beautiful friends.
