Welcome to my website!  

I hope you enjoy looking around. If you want to delve into the crazy world of teaching, then my book It's a Teacher's Life...!  is just the thing - and would make a perfect gift for any teacher, no matter where they work - though if that doesn't appeal, there are plenty of other gift ideas you can explore on the 'Teacher Appreciation Links'  page.

If my poetic memoir Family and More  whets your appetite to write your own memoir, but you don't know where to start, then check out the links on the 'How to write a memoir'  page. Or if you just want to find out more about your own family history, then you'll find useful links for both the UK and USA on the 'Explore your family history'  page.

Please contact me if you have any questions or leave a comment on the 'Visitors' Comments'  page. Specific comments about my books can be left on the relevant book pages.

 


THE WRITER
The blank page calls,
the heart responds,
imagination spreads wide its wings
and launches into infinity...
Fingers dance,
words flow,
the page fills,
the soul takes flight
and the spirit sings.

This book will make you smile and laugh (and don't we all need some of that?) and, if you're not a teacher, give you an insight into that crazy world. It's a Teacher's Life...! is based on my own experiences as a teacher. It's an amusing and ironic look at the ups and downs of teaching; a collection of stories and character sketches, written in free verse.

Amazon Top Reviewers: "Highly entertaining/ wonderful poems written from the heart/ a wonderful gift and read for anyone wishing to understand not only teachers, but all people who dedicate their lives to service."

If you've ever thought, 'Which side would I choose, if I had divided loyalties? Could I choose?' or 'Why is this happening to me?' or 'Why did this happen to my mother/father?' etc. then this book is for you.

Family and More - Enemies or Friends?  is a memoir in verse, examining the lives of family members and others, who've taught me some valuable lessons, and heavily influenced by my German/English background. Available as an ebook, but advance paperback copies are now also available from my publishers. More details here.

Carolyn Howard-Johnson, multi-award winning writer of fiction and poet: "The author encapsulates characters and events breathtakingly. There is so much here to think about once one turns the last page. I was left wanting more! More!..."

Glenda Bixler, IP Book Reviewer: "A delightful trip for poetry lovers as well as those who wish to remember their own families through the experiences of others."
