About me
I'm a freelance writer - fiction, nonfiction and anything else that happens to tango its way through my mind. That's for me, and I've won a competition or two, and been published in a range of media. To keep the wolf from the door, I also edit, proofread and write for other people. Love it all. Aren't I lucky?

DAILY PROMPT Overcome We all knew it, didn’t we, if we’re old enough. Even if we didn’t sing along, we knew it, and hoped against hope that it was true. From its roots in African American hymns of the early … Continue reading
Daily prompt: Stupidity
DAILY PROMPT Educate I grew up in Australia’s first rural university. My father was its first Vice-Chancellor (Principal) and circumstance and the times (1940s-50s-early 60s) made it a community within a community in which we were surrounded by highly intelligent, … Continue reading
Daily prompt: Perhaps I need to memorise the seasons
