Writing is a very powerful healing tool, sharing your story can help others as well as help you on your healing journey. I am a writing mentor who can help people write their own story or with any writing project they are creating.
My passion is creative writing, I’ve been writing for 24 years in fiction, non-fiction, poetry and content. I have published many articles and guest posted on various sites. I conduct interviews on my website which I built from scratch to help promote my fellow writers and host guest postings to collaborate with other writers.

A brief about my books
“The New Zealand Dream” is a story and account of my life so far.
You take a journey from birth, growing up in a beautiful countrytown. Moving to the suburbs, discovering New Zealand’s underground in book one; "The Seeds are Sown." Life has been astruggle and a uphill climb, I was born with learning difficulties that caused me challenges every day. My mother, who single-handedly raised my brother and I suffered from mental health problems. Idove into the drug and alcohol scene at a young age, growing up surrounded by violence and gangs. I escaped a religious occult, got married and had children. In book two; "Growth and Destruction,"before I hit the age of thirty, I was a divorced single mother. My support network passed away, and I sank into a world of abuse. I stayed trapped in an abusive relationship for over eight years untilone night he nearly killed me and I finally escaped. Within these books you will meet characters you may relate to and characters that will shock you. "Come on read my story, it is aimed to assist and attest to one being able to cope with setbacks and bounce back." Elise
