About the Author

Although this book if purely fictional, I have drawn on experiences from my past to help me in completing this work, which I have wanted to write for the past thirty five years. I was born in England, married with three children. Emigrated to Canada in 1982 with my family. Lived for the past eight years in Barbados. This is my second book, my first being titled Angela. I am once more living in Canada to be closer to my five grandchildren. I enjoy working out and spending time in my garden. I also love to read.
