I’m obsessed by talking, writing and reading. My fascination with talking led me into my work as a speech-language pathologist in health care and, following completion of a PhD in Linguistics, into lecturing in university settings. I also completed a degree in writing which turbo-powered my academic publications and which continues to drive my aspirations in writing fiction. And then, of course, there’s always time for reading. Like my writing, I’m a genre omnivore, relishing wherever any story takes me.
