About

25 years in publishing, editing, proofreading, layout design, coaching, graphics, etc. +40 years experience in TV, film, radio, multimedia, print. Hundreds of hours of scripting broadcast.

I spent the first 25 years of my adult life doing a variety of production and facilities work in television and film, as well as hundreds of hours of script writing for TV, radio, film, video, multimedia and print; teaching, mentoring, developing new writers, giving workshops ... For 12 years I have run my own publishing company. Now I am getting back into writing, and offering my publishing and writing services to others.

A bit of background, set in Africa and other startling places! - In brief, I was born and raised all over Central and Southern Africa, and am proud to be a Rhodesian. I knew from age 3 that I wanted to “make books”, and indeed the desire to write and publish came to fruition throughout my life in a variety of ways. I've fought in a bush war, skinny-dipped with hippos, camped amidst hyena, leopard and lion, hunted crocodile (yes, just one!), had mad adventures on (and off) film and television sets, had numerous brushes with death… and on the more ‘normal’ side, I have sat on boards for scriptwriting associations, governmental regulating committees and Child Welfare; and dragged up two children and a husband (who all turned out amazingly well in spite of me). I’ve done youth and women's and music ministry, camped at the tops of mountains and bottoms of valleys, sailed in the Indian Ocean islands and along the east coast of Africa, ridden motorbikes across Southern Africa... And here I am now, over half a century behind me, and just as crazy about books and writing as I always was. :)
