More than 28 years ago, I faced the tempestuous storm of divorce, which shook not only my world but also that of my precious son. The impact of my car crash divorce has been a journey he continues to navigate through, facing the twists and turns along the way.
Life, always unpredictable, threw more curveballs my way as I embarked on a heart-wrenching chapter of nursing my beloved parents through their final months. Their passing, just weeks apart, left an indelible mark on my soul. Little did I know that another unexpected chapter awaited me—a mind-boggling battle as a survivor of a long-term coma caused by COVID. Talk about plot twists that defy imagination!
But here’s where the story takes an exciting turn. I refused to let these trials define me. Instead, they became the catalyst for my deep dive into helping separating and divorcing couples navigate the delicate terrain of conflict-free co-parenting.
With a pen as my sword, boundless resilience as my shield, and a sprinkle of humour as my secret weapon, I embarked on a mission to empower children through my books.
I do not have a formal literary education beyond my ‘O’ level English literature days, but I have penned countless training manuals, courses & legal briefs. Who knew those skills would shape my path toward creating warm and witty books for children!
Living in Thailand, California and the UK has given me a unique perspective, allowing me to draw inspiration from diverse cultures and experiences.
I have two wonderful furbabies, Cloud and Rain, who bring joy and laughter to my writing process. When I’m not crafting heartfelt stories, I indulge in various creative pursuits such as jewellery making, resin work, card making, and sewing.
I adore this genre because it allows me to delve into the depths of human emotions, unravel complex family dynamics, and offer a guiding light to those in need. The power of storytelling lies in its ability to touch hearts, provoke thoughts, and ignite conversations.
Through my books, I aim to foster resilience, empathy, and understanding among readers of all ages.
I’m dedicated to supporting parents and children, providing them with resources and stories that celebrate resilience, empathy, and the power of connection. It’s my way of turning life’s unexpected plot twists into opportunities for growth and transformation.
