I've just published with Lulu as well, so it's good to have your endorsement, Deborah. Once I've made sure that there are no gaffes in the book, I intend to purchase their extended distribution package. I've had feedback on the quality from an artis…

Born in Copenhagen, Denmark, I arrived in Australia in 1957 with my parents and older sister. We initially lived in Melbourne for a short while, until my father found work as an engineer in Yallourn, which was a purpose-built 1920s town, created when the first power stations were built in the Latrobe Valley, Victoria. I remained in Yallourn until I finished high school, and then moved to Melbourne to study science at Monash University. After graduating, I worked in a number of different professions and also went back to university a couple of times to improve my qualifications. My last position was as an IT Manager with Monash University. Currently retired, I live on the outskirts of Melbourne, where I write, garden, look after an old house, and do a little artwork and photography.
