Story

A real estate agent who writes children’s books? Why not!

Just as I am a professional matchmaker for the sellers and buyers of houses, so I am for characters and plots. Sometimes it’s a character that is looking round for a story to belong to, at other times it’s a plot that is looking for characters. Finally, the stories that are kindled have found their creative outlet here in the Book Nook.

Since my early childhood, I have enjoyed writing children’s stories. It is a hobby that I have continued to cultivate, chronicling my travels around the world on my trusty laptop. Now, I live in Auckland, New Zealand, on the lovely Pohutukawa Coast within a stone’s throw from the sea. I can add the local beachfront café of Maraetai to the list of many places - such as a Hong Kong food market, a mountain top in Chile, a 500 year-old Scottish inn, and an Omani souq - in which I have penned my story ideas. Pottering about with micro-gardening and raw food recipes are also interests, which – you never know – just might find their way into a plot or two!
