About This Author

Born in 1957 and educated at Oxford the author is now retired after a career as a biologist and time spent teaching in schools here in England. Married to a merchant navy officer life has involved travel to places like New Guinea and the Pacific along with China and European countries. Seen from a working perspective these experiences have enriched the potential for story-telling. A keen creative drive has resulted in some books being made to entertain and provide a useful and absorbing distraction for readers of all ages. Father Joe is a Christmas book that has humour and poignancy but like most of the books written by this author they offer a strong sense of positivity. The author now lives in Devon and enjoys being a grandmother to four lovely little boys.
