1. I was inspired to write when I had babies and I became aware that there were plentiful resources to teach them to read from birth but no maths resources until workbooks for pre schoolers.
2. Reading is my passion! Books are my gift to myself: the gift of never being bored; the gift of powering up my imagination; and the gift of knowledge. I am very drawn to non fiction (untangled, between and good enough are on the go at the moment to inspire and guide me be a better parent and a better person!). However, I also always have a fiction book available to get lost in. Often chosen by my book club friends and I’m yet to find a book that doesn’t generate conversation, ideas and emotions. When I choose my own book then Jodi Picoult is my go to author-she makes me think. I love to think!
3. My newest and only book is ‘100 Ways in 100 Days to Teach Your Baby Maths’ I wrote it because it needed to be written rather than because I’m a natural author. So, for now, my work is done!!
4. Being an indie author can be quite self-indulgent. To do it properly requires more time and money than can sometimes be justified. But the satisfaction of providing information or enjoyment to people all over the world makes it absolutely worth any sacrifices and compromises.
5. As a writer, I have been influenced by the voices of hundreds of other kind people who have used their knowledge to help me grow. And, of course, my inspiration and my confirmation, my children (who have taught me more than I could ever teach them!).
