| After so many years as an oral storyteller 
                    I have begun to write (and hopefully publish) some stories. 
                    This journey into the written word has been an amazing eye 
                    opener.  I have written a number of stories although my major project 
                    is a series of picture books focusing on Mental Health This project began a decade ago. My brother had schizophrenia 
                    and it always presented a problem of "How to explain" 
                    to our nieces and nephews. With this in mind I started to 
                    create stories.   To 
                    date I have written; Shadow Bird - Bipolar
 Kinaku - Schizophrenia, and
 Perfect Fruit - Anorexia.
 I am working on - bulimia (possum) and anxiety disorder (cricket) 
                    at the moment.  If you are interested in further information please contact
