Introduction | Theoretically retired, but in fact busier than ever. A former teacher, education lecturer, program manager, now my life as a writer keeps me more fully occupied than before- and that's saying something! Mother of four adult offspring, and six grandchildren, ranging from 19 down to nine. I'm a cat lover - but no feeling for dogs, and used to breed Siamese as a hobby. |
