I was born in Germany in 1946 and came to Australia with my parents when I was ten years old. After many years as a legal secretary, I returned to University and studied creative writing as part of my Arts degree. I then went on to obtain an English as a Second Language Certificate and taught migrants and refugees. I also tutored children who had literacy problems. As a retired Grandmother, I am now enjoying the joys of childhood through the eyes of my Grandchild and it is this new and exciting experience that has prompted me to write this story.
