I am a wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and now an author in my seventies.
I've lived a life that's been nothing short of extraordinary, and I've always dreamed of sharing my story. It wasn't easy, mind you—I'm no scholar—but I never let go of that dream.
You won't believe the journey I've been on! With limited schooling, it took me over 30 years to jot down my amazing memories and another 12 years to get it published. But guess what? I never gave up!
My life was no walk in the park. I traveled all over Australia with my dad, who was a real character. He taught me how to be street smart, how to love, gamble, run a business, hunt, and fish - an education no classroom could provide. How I survived some of the hair-raising dangerous situations I was exposed to is a miracle in itself.
At only 13, I was pulled out of school. By 15, I was engaged, and by 16, I was married. At 17 I became a mother. War and the traumatic birth of my second child, only made me stronger.
When we were evacuated to London, my family and I spent two long years trying to return to our Aussie home. When we finally got back, I faced my biggest challenge yet: saving my son from an evil spirit.
Are you ready to embark on this wild ride with me? My book, "Like a Dandelion in the Wind," is a two-for-one special: part memoir, part unbelievable adventure. If you read my book, you'll laugh, cry, be amazed, shocked, and maybe even a little scared! my readers have all said what a wonderful movie or documentary my story would make- one day maybe!
Unique traits: I never give up on my dreams!
