Ten books written over the years — some drawn from life, some pure make believe — all proceeds supporting Kiva and TreeAid.
Over the years, I have put pen to paper and starting writing some of my own stories. Many draw on the experience of growing up, while some are pure make believe.
A list of my publications are below – all are available on Amazon, links provided below. Proceeds go to Kiva.
