❊ Writing & Living Creatively ❊
Never happier than when nestled in nature with a notepad and pen as my constant companion, I have spent the past twenty+ years living a nomadic life. Travelling the world solo, and then with my little family wandering by narrowboat and campervan throughout the UK and Europe, I have embraced many temporary homes in the mountains, forest, and by the sea. We currently live a quiet existence in the Highlands of Scotland.
Words about these journeys have appeared in numerous magazines over the years and as of 2021 I am slowly and organically working on a non-fiction book, Tales from a Wandering Heart.
As well as travel and nature-inspired words about my own life, my fictional short stories and poetry have been published in magazines & anthologies, and even won competitions. My educational resources are used in schools around the world, and I was overjoyed recently to partner with a dear Portuguese friend to create an activity book for vegetarian and vegan children.
Some of my favourite work, though, is that which I do within the community. As a youth befriender I have worked with disadvantaged kids, and as a long-time home educator I have led many social groups within the homeschool network. I also support families on-line as a Brave Writer Coach. I believe nurturing self-belief and positivity through creativity, is the way to ensure a contented and compassionate future for us all.
