I was born in Tampa, Florida but was raised on a cattle station a couple hundred kilometres from Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia. After contracting Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME) and Fibromyalgia which ended my paid employment in Medical Administration, I took up writing as a way to exercise the mush I call my brain. It was when I started writing humorous fiction that my stories came pouring out.
