“I love tales of adventure and invention, and have always been fascinated by real life explorers and inventors from history. I love to get out and about in nature whenever I can, but most of the exploring and adventuring I do goes on in my imagination. My stories begin with a big ‘what if?’ and everything springs from there - I am definitely a world builder!”
