In my free time, I enjoy diamond art, adult coloring, and, of course, taking my dog Ziggy for walks amidst the stunning natural beauty of my rural Victorian community, nestled between a lake and the Pacific Ocean. This balanced lifestyle fuels my creativity and provides a rich source of inspiration for my writing and illustration. My broad reading interests, spanning non-fiction, historical fiction, horror, children's fiction, and thrillers, further enrich my creative perspective.
