This is my page, for my Novel, my Poetry, and me.
Hello lovely readers and writers, I'm Sondra and I'm happy this is my space to meet up!...
A little bit about me, is that I love colour. Lots of it.
I like unusual pets.
I make a lot of my own clothes from upcycled dresses I find in pre-loved shops.
I'm vegetarian.
I have been a veggie since I was four. I have been writing since age five.
My first pet and poem was about my 'Tortoise' called Herman.
Tortoise number two came along, so life was fun untangling Hector and Herman from my dads fruit-trees after school.
I am now a grandmother and live on a boat in Queensland.
I joined QWC and began to write my memoir, so now I have three poetry books,
a memoire and a Novel inspired by my life, which is in three parts.
I write 'Literary Fiction', and it is all about character.
I love writing emotion and all things eclectic.
So in my books there are colour, birds, a suitcase, an elephant, coffee,
a table that collects conversations,
and memories that span the seventies and eighties.
Set in London, with some travel to France.
A GOAL IS JUST A HOPE WITHOUT A PLAN
Born in a suitcase, in the Chinese year of the Rooster, Anthea camouflages her pain like a Giraffe in the African plain. |
The first time I read a new book, it is to me just as if I had gained a new friend; when I read over a book I have perused before, it enables a meeting with an old one.

Three of these photos are my next three book covers......and the rest speak about "Life" within the pages of each book......
