I am a 47-year-old married woman with three children, the financial director of a Mercedes Benz dealership in the small country town of Kokstad in South Africa. I love reading and writing poetry, am inspired by the things of nature, and love the outdoors. I published Footprints, an anthology of approximately 60 poems, in 2005 and received the Hilda Slinger Poetry Trophy from the South African Writers Circle in 2006. Other hobbies include SCUBA diving, walking and aerobics.
