This is probably the only part of writing that I dont enjoy . . . when it becomes about me. I was born in Country NSW (Dubbo) on 15th August 1982. Im No.4 in a family of 5 children. At the age of 2 due to the never-ending drought we ended up moving to the Hawkesbury Valley and have been here ever since. I went to a private school and had many outside interests such as playing a newly restored pipe organ, for 7 years each weekend at one of the oldest churches on the main land of Australia. I finished my schooling at the end of year ten and I quickly embraced a working life. Im currently single and a very busy PA/Accounts Officer for one of the leading Building Certifiers in NSW. The most important thing to me is my Faith, Family & Friends. If truth be told I have always had a passion for writing, in fact when I was little I had grown up saying that I wanted to be Nun writing books . . . Clearly the Nun thing didnt work out too well but alas there is always writing
