I am a British author who was born in India, raised in Bahrain, and worked as a journalist in South Africa, before travelling to the U.S. on holiday where I lived more than 20 years.
In 2010, my husband and I sold our home, gave away most of our possessions and bought one-way tickets to Cambodia where w volunteered in the local community.
While living in Phnom Penh, I wrote The Sweet Tastes of Cambodia (a book about traditional Cambodian desserts) and The Definitive Guide to Moving to Southeast Asia: Cambodia. Together with my husband, Skip, I wrote Just Go! Leave the Treadmill for a World of Adventure (based on our adventures and the experiences of others who made significant changes their lives), and later published two children’s books, Ogden The Fish Who Couldn’t Swim Straight, and Martha the Blue Sheep.
I moved to Eastbourne in 2018 and in 2019 published my first novel, Whisper of the Lotus, which was long-listed in the 2019 London TLC (The Literary Consultancy) Pen Factor writing competition.
In November 2022, I published my first poetry collection, And The Clouds Parted.
