Welcome

Welcome That's Life readers to my blog. When I sat down to write my book I never imagined that there would be notoriety involved. I even had a chuckle to myself as I was introduced to a classroom of year one students during book week last year, as a Famous Lady who had written a story. Never the less I was excited to see myself in this weeks edition of TL. I'm not sure how my children ages changed in the article. But Josh will be 20 in June & Kirsty is sweet 16.
But by getting noticed I hope to achieve two things. Firstly by get my book out there and being loved and read by children & their families. The second is to raise awareness for women, that it is important to do their self breast checks, as early diagnosis can save your life. In Australia in 2010, 14000 women will be diagnosed with Breast Cancer. If we can decrease the numbers that actually die from the disease, it is a good thing.

Fun day at Angus & Robertson


Kids fun day at Angus & Robertson was a great success. Echidna loving 7 year old Jennifer Evans brought her entire Echidna collection in to share with me & to add a copy of my book to her collection. There was also face painting, mask making & a drawing competition. Thanks to all those who attended and brought a copy of my book.
