About the Author

I began writing poetry when I was aged 10 years and developed into writing sophisticated poetry at the age of 13 years. I used poetry as an outlet to my feelings at a young age having lost my great grandmother and eventually my father at 16 years of age. My father died on his 50th birthday. My father was my softball coach. I was an elite athlete at age 13 years through to age 21 years. I represented my state, NSW, at open women’s level and my country Australia at youth level. I was a softball pitcher. When my father died I was struck with grief. Hence the poem “A Letter to Heaven”. This poem was printed on his funeral eulogy. I then gave birth to Ashliegh Rustin when I was aged 17 years. I brought Ashleigh up as a sole parent and she was the inspiration for my poem “My Beautiful Ashleigh”. I then studied law and obtaining an honours degree. I now operate my own legal firm and have continued to write poetry periodically throughout my life.
