I have been writing since I could hold a pencil and write which was as a toddler.
Wrote my first novel at 25 and it got rejected,rejected etc.
Still got it and its called Roovacrag.
Wrote a lot for children and other short stories over the the years.
Was an editor at My Weekly that said"We like your work,but someone else got a story similar to yours before you. Do not give up hope". Never forgot the words.
I am an artist and sold several works. I paint mostly watercolours.
