I write with heart - I deliver more than promised and the professionalism of the finished product has satisfied many a client.
I was born 56 years ago, in South Africa. A top-notch education equipped me for a life-time of writing - and joy!
The last 25 years I spent working myself up the Corporate ladder to Senior Bookkeeper and Financial Controller. I did my writing as a sideline - usually in the early hours of the morning.
I started writing professionally when I was about 28 years old after doing a two-year course in Creative Writing, Script writing for Radio and TV and Journalism.
I did the usual Woman's magazine submissions but the one-dimensional plots required for these short stories, bored me silly. I wrote what I wanted to write - thrillers and drama. I didn't publish any of these stories but it honed my writing skills and my knowledge in Behavioral Sciences, Psychology, Crime Scenes, Police Procedure and so on.
Armed with this knowledge I set about writing my first full-length novel - two years ago - about a DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder), a fancy name for multiple personality, who commits a series of murders.
Most of my fiction writing was done as a Ghost writer and a couple of years ago I completed a series of twelve, short stories (10,000 wrds ea) in the Romance/Drama genre, for a wonderful client in Malaysia. Two have been published so far.
I designed my own websites - dozens of them, writing all the content, learning SEO and the myriad advertising methods both online and offline. Through all of this, I discovered that I actually enjoyed copywriting far more than fiction writing!
I have written dozens of articles for websites (for clients) on Travel & Lifestyle, Internet Marketing, email Campaigns, Advertising, Press releases and so on.
I have the experience in writing Business Plans, B2B product descriptions, Newsletters, Contracts and in fact any and all documents to do with the running of a business.
I love what I do - the writing and the business and to combine the two has been phenomenal!
