My Story
I first started writing at the tender age of 8 and started with writing songs. Sometimes I’d get a tune in my head and then add words to go with it, while other times the words would come to me first, followed by the melody. This led to my passion for music and singing, I’d happily spend endless hours writing and recording songs in bands.
Fast forward a few years and I fell into the world of work, I had various jobs in retail, banking and then went on to work in a school, which was heaps of fun!
Then my life completely changed—I had an accident that caused limited use of my right hand, I was devastated! At the time I didn’t know what to do. After weeks of despair one day I took a deep breath, put one foot in front of the other and followed my heart.
And so SommerSparkle was born, an online jewellery & accessories boutique full of lots of sparkly goodness to help women look amazing & feel fabulous. I felt I must be doing something right because as the business grew it started winning awards and being featured in several magazines, including British Vogue.
Writing became a big part of my biz, it was through this that I reconnected with my joy of writing and so I started writing books.
I am passionate about helping others make their dreams come true.
When I’m not working or creating, I love nothing better than putting my feet up and catching a Chick-Flick or you can find me bopping away to my favourite songs and singing to my heart’s content 😊
