In Vitro Fertility GoddessI started life as the much-adored and at times challenging child of loving parents who selflessly supported me in all of my endeavours, no matter how foolish.
My young adult years were spent as an Occupational Therapist working in State-run institutions for the mentally disadvantaged, and travelling the world as a bedraggled backpacker before metamorphosing into a flight attendant, all of which were ideal training grounds for the one role which eluded me - motherhood. They also turned me into a consummate observer of the human condition, including my own.
Now as a writer and finally in my multi-talented role as daughter, wife, lover and mother, I've come to exemplify the "21st Century Woman" juggling and struggling to make sense of everything from my husband's sock drawer to the invasion of Iraq by the ‘Coalition of the Willing', to why it was easier to meet a Beatle than conceive a child.
In Vitro Fertility Goddess is my first non-fiction book. I'm currently working on a second and have previously written a novel and articles which have been featured in The Australian (Australia's Washington Post or The Times equivalent), The Courier Mail and a string of leading women's magazines.
I live with my beloved daughter and French husband who doubles as my rock, in sub-tropical Brisbane, Australia.

"I bought In Vitro Fertility Goddess and read it in one day…thank you for a fantastic read. It certainly made me feel more normal in regards to my horrific thoughts about the fertile!"
