Linda
I was born in England, but have lived in Australia since 1954. A former school teacher and principal in remote areas, I now live with my husband on the east coast. I have five wonderful sons, two grandsons and four granddaughters.. Writing has always been a great way to get things out of my system. It's now also an outlet for my creativity. I've been writing stories and poems since July 2005. I have a blog at https://www.wangiwriter.wordpress.com . My first novel, "Ben's Challenge", for ages 10-100, is now available at https://www.createspace.com/3613285
