My debut memoir Glass Half Full was originally written from my journals after the Brisbane floods in 2011 as a cathartic exercise to try and come to terms with the loss of our home, belongings and the roots to our Australian dream life.įiona: When did you first consider yourself a writer?
I truly was The Accidental Author even though I always harboured the idea of writing a romance novel. Book 2 is set in aged care where, as a newly qualified nurse and new mum, I struggle to keep my personal and professional life on track.įiona: When and why did you begin writing? I have a new book currently on pre-order called, ‘Bedpans to Boardrooms.’ It is Book 2 in The Nomadic Nurse Series which documents my 28 year nursing career in a variety of health care settings in both the UK and Australia. I am married, third time lucky! With 4 children and 3 step children, all grown up and spreading their wings into the big wide world, but always finding time to Skype or visit mum! I am also now a grandmother to two boys with a baby grand daughter expected in February, which is a wonderful feeling and I am truly blessed. I am also a mentor to debut and aspiring authors at Rukia Publishing where we provide a range of free services to help authors navigate the world of independent author book promotion and marketing. I am a bit of a gypsy! After 28 years as a Registered General Nurse working in a variety of healthcare establishments, I am now a full time author and freelance writer which makes me very happy and pays the bills. Later we lived in Australia and then France. My nursing years were spent in Colchester, Essex and Liskeard in Cornwall. We later moved back to Ipswich when I was in college studying my pre-nursing course. I was born in Ipswich, but we lived in small village called Stonham Aspal where I also attended primary school. I am originally from rural Suffolk in East Anglia, UK.
