Words are my music and I play them like a symphony, blending emotions, action, humour and life into riveting tales of family drama. My books explore the challenges of our modern Western lifestyle and expose issues which need to be examined and discussed, but rarely are. I write boldly where many fear to tread!

 PRINT VERSION COVER
"Raised by Committee" is set in Devon, England, and takes readers on a roller coaster ride through my teen years. At age 12, I was made a 'ward of the courts in need of moral protection', and placed under the care of the Devon County Council's Children's Committee, where I remained until I reached age 18. Set against a backdrop of Beatlemania and the sexual revolution, watch as I struggle to come to terms with sexual abuse and abandonment, and evolve into a young woman ready to take on the world. 'Raised by Committee' is a tribute to all the social workers, care aides and others who helped put me back together. 'Raised by Committee' has been awarded the Book Readers' Appreciation Group's [B.R.A.G.] Gold Medallion and a Readers' Favorite FIVE-STAR review.
