Maggie, what can you tell all of us about you and
your book?
Hmm, what can I say about myself, and why I adore
writing. I think it all came about when
I was a tiny child in Hampshire UK, and adored books.
I can remember back to when I was about 5 and
sitting with my Dad (who was an avid reader) at the table reading my
books. As I grew older, I devoured
anything I could get my hands on, Enid Blyton of course was very much in my
library, with me reading everyone of her books, and placing them with pride in
our huge book case in our “SittingRoom”.
TV did not then, nor today hold any fascination for me. It was books!
Books opened my eyes and made me realise that words were “Special”. They can
bring joy, bring sadness, bring smiles, bring frowns and tell stories. The
words in one book, can conjure up images of characters, which can be different
for each person reading, words to me are awe inspiring.
I became what I would call
a Lifetime student. I have my degree in
Social Work and Psychology in which I
worked for many years, plus diplomas in Alternative medicine, including,
Aromatherapy, Physiology and Anatomy, Massage and other alternative healing
practices all gained whilst raising my children. Yes, I combined, a career, study, being a
wife, mother, and all that entails – very satisfying.
Once my children had grown
and left home, and started lives of their own, I took stock of the next phase
in my life, and decided I would re-invent myself once more and become an
author, and allow my writing to be seen by the world.
My newly released
Children’s Series “The Adventures of Popsie and Friends” is my current release.
It combines my love and
passion for dogs of which I have 4 all saved from the local Animal Shelter.
Popsie
Finds A Family is book one the series:
In all the books, every exciting adventure ends happily, but teaches valuable
life lessons and wholesome values along the way, which I feel is important for
the children who read the books.
It stars, Popsie a Silky
Terrier cross puppy who is full of energy and mischief and her sister Willow, 2
brothers JD and Churchill who are constantly getting into mischief and having
fun.
This book and other books
in this series are ideal children stories for ages 3-5 for you to read to, or
help them read, or a little older 6-8 if
they read for themselves, as every book is written in a format where children
can easily follow the story line, which Popsie tells herself.
In this book “Popsie finds
a family” it tells the true story of how she came to be adopted by me and my
family. During this story, she has adventures, which will enthral the reader
(including Moms and Dads) and take them through a whole range of emotions, plus
teach some life skills that parents can reinforce with their children.
Many children’s story books
are written about fictitious puppies and dogs. However, Popsie and her sister
and brothers and her friends that come into later books are real. The stories
are based on the mischief the 4 get into in my huge garden and house, along
with grandson and soon to be a grand children as my daughter is having twins
soon!
Written to enthral, written
with life lessons weaved into the story, I know Popsie and her Friends will win
a place in your hearts.
Before I go, I wish to
thank Max Larkin for this wonderful opportunity to ramble on about myself.

Bio:
From a tiny child I have always loved books. I can remember back to when I was
about 5 and sitting with my Dad(who was an avid reader) at the table reading my
books. Books opened my eyes and made me realise that words were “Special”. they
can bring joy, bring sadness, bring smiles, bring frowns and tell stories. the
words in one book, can conjure up images of characters, which can be different
for each person reading, words to me are awe inspiring.
As I grew up writing became
one of my passions, and still is to this day.
My childhood was rich with
wonderful experiences of playing in woodlands and fields with my cousins
surrounded by my dogs (which are one of my passions)in England, being taught by
my Grandad who was a Master Baker and Grannie how to grow foods, raise animals,
produce jams, pickles and cakes that melt in your mouth, then travelling with
my parents to the other side of the world to live.
I
have been a lifetime student gaining many, many qualifications in several
fields of expertise, this knowledge plus my childhood memories and lessons have
enriched my writing as I can share with others those memories, my knowledge and
my stories.
I adore telling stories to children about my 4 dogs, especially one “Popsie” a
little mischief maker, and plan to bring these to life in children’s books.
I own the following
business Oils Of the Earth Pty Ltd. Plus have many successful websites.
I am also very proud to say
I am a member of World Wide Who’s Who Member ID #
