This is the story of a small business operator with big ideas...
There are thousands of people out there of varying degrees of talent who say; "I've always wanted to write." Well, I'm not one of them. the simple fact is, I've always written. If you don't believe me asked my parents - they're school teachers, you know.
This in itself is not exactly why I loved to read and write so young, although there is an indirect link between my parents' chosen vocation and my fascination with words.
At three and four years old, I was on occaisions plonked amid the new entrants kids at the school where my dad worked when my mum - the regular relieving teacher - couldn't find a baby sitter. After a while I put aside my colouring book and joined in with the lessons.
Not surprisingly my reading and writing was well underway when I officially started school, and I would find my imagination wandering once I had completed my work, waiting for those who had started cold at five to catch up. So I wrote stories.
