❊ Writing & Living Creatively ❊
Never happier than when nestled in nature with notepad and pen as my constant companions, I have spent the past twenty+ years living a nomadic life. Travelling the world solo writing for a guide, and then with my little family wandering by narrowboat and campervan throughout the UK and Europe, over the years I have embraced many temporary homes: mountain cottages, woodland cabins, Highland yurts, olive grove quintas, seaside retreats. Currently we wander the British Waterways aboard our narrowboat, Melody.
Words about these journeys have appeared in numerous magazines and in 2022 I plan to slowly and organically work on my second non-fiction book, Unbound: Tales from the Gypsy Life.
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 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 greater community. As a youth befriender I have helped inspire kids towards brighter futures, and as a long-time Home Educator I have led many groups within our social network. I also support homeschool families on-line as a Brave Writer Coach. I believe nurturing self-belief and positivity through creativity is one way to ensure a contented and compassionate future for us all.
