I decided to become a Kiwi at the age of 59 and am now based in Auckland New Zealand.

I am passionate about people and travelling the world (when COVID allows!) and have lived an interesting and colourful life.

Now, at the age of 70, I am writing books that reflect these passions.

I am fascinated by social history and the lives of ordinary people and believe their stories should be told.

"Once we die, our stories die with us and so I am determined to give my ancestors a voice, by telling their stories."
