The Lion & the Mouse

She's 39 and is a garden nymph, born to Maltese parents, brought up in the Canadian countryside and at the age of 21, emigrated to that charming island called England that nourished in her a desire for dirty knees and walking books and English grammar.

Married for 24 years and having raised four delightful children, she now lives at the bottom of a 17th century walled garden in a ditty little garden shed filled with all her loves; books and maps, wellies and walking boots, tea and M&M’s, a teeny bed, a reading lamp and her favourite music - classical, jazz and good ole country tunes.

She spends her days weeding and pruning, sowing and mowing, strimming and picking produce for the restaurant at the top of the garden. She spends her free time, reading and writing, fantasising and dreaming, playing scrabble on her own, pottering, pondering and taking herself for long walks in the English countryside.

She is both an introvert and an extrovert. She likes people but secretly loves wildlife more. She loves dancing in the kitchen and yoga at 5 am and 3 am writing with a cigarillo and the windows open and Night, kissing her fingers and lapping at her skin. 

Her greatest love is writing for you. Her greatest dream is that you love what she writes.
