During my 30 years with the United Nations, I was responsible for a bounty of publications which I fear may have driven people to boredom - if not despair. Born in Perth, after 6 years teaching literature, I married a Swedish diplomat, and we raised our three children globally in keeping with our postings. Unsettled by semi-retirement, I have recently written articles for sailing magazines including Atlantic crossings on which I have taken aboard fictional characters from my novel: Johnston’s Hope; an Australian story - a manuscript of 84,000 words which has been in gestation for some years.
