Born and raised in Zimbabwe, when my nose wasn’t buried in a book, I spent my childhood wandering through the bush in search of nature, either on foot with my falconer father or on the back of a horse.  As a grown-up, I spent a few years after secretarial college, working in boring office jobs until my partner, now my husband, and I decided that the bush was where we wanted to be. So, we promptly set about making it happen and trained as Safari guides and blissfully spent the following years showing guests our Africa and sticking our fingers in elephant or rhino dung.  Now in the UK with my family, I sketch or write about the animals of Africa. Having stories published in Yours Fiction, African magazines -Mosi oa Tuna, Ndephi and Zikuphani.

Understandably, due to my safari background most of my stories are about wildlife and Africa.  I have self-published my first novel, Ntombi, a rhino’s story (ages 9+), and am working on my first picture book.
