I am 63 and a mum to four children and grandmother to several wonderful grandchildren.

I didn't start writing until the first Covid-19 lockdown. I have Parkinson’s and was put on isolation from work for several weeks. It was during this time that I started writing poetry. With the encouragement of friends and family I self published my first book of poetry in August 2022 through the Amazon KPD website. I have been donating a percentage of sales to Parkinson’s UK and wish to continue to do this.
