Myself

Every story has part of the writer in it.

We write, either from experience or from what we see of others.

I hope to put a more confident version of myself in my writing.

As a child, two boys bullied me. My first book, ‘‘Sticks and Stones’’, covered the topic and how it silently affects its victims. I went through a flawed method to self-publish. I paid, and it was the wrong thing to do.

They missed glaring mistakes.

When I wrote ‘‘It Won’t Happen Again’’, Martha wasn’t based on me. I am happily married, and it is a joint partnership. Someone in my family escaped a violent marriage, and I hoped to give the victim another voice.

I am a fifty something mother of two grown up children, and one beautiful grandchild. I have been married for nearly thirty-four years. My first book was published ten years ago. I wrote my book Sticks and Stones because of my experience of being bullied at school.
