I came to New Zealand when I was 17 and studied at one of thelocal colleges. My English teacher (Ms Marian) has inspired me formy writing. I still remember at one of the free-willed topic storieswe were required to write at that time. I got an A+ for that storythat came with a comment saying, Keep writing, it will be a wasteif you stop! Today Im grateful for her inspiration. Otherwise Iwont be where Im today publishing my own book.I love drawing since I was ten. Sometimes I like drawing cartooncharacters such as Garfield, Tweety Bird and Bugs Bunny. Atother times I like drawing just plants, flowers or trees. I find mypeace of mind by drawing them.In my story A Trees Dream I wanted to contribute moretowards the story, so thats how the illustration came tomy mind.Now Im married to a wonderful husband with two lovely kids. Ithank my husband for the love and support.I also thank my elder son who is always eager to become my firstreader of the stories I wrote. He always wants me to read to himafter Ive finished them. Sometimes I do made-up bedtime storiesfor him before he goes to bed. I remember the time I did a differentversion of The Sword in the Stone, we had lots of fun.
