The Author is a former primary school teacher with a Master of Education degree and tutors students in Maths and English. She expects to be doing this for a long time to come because she is passionate about helping children to improve their school work and to improve their attitude towards it and themselves. She also teaches English to migrants.
The Author writes not just to entertain, but to teach (subtle) wise life lessons that are relevant no matter what age the reader is. The stories are positive, wholesome and educative.
Prior to writing 'Magic? Who Needs It! - a modern fairy tale', most of the writing she had done was related to her studies and work as a teacher. She did enter two caption writing competitions and won both, and while this isn't story writing, it is evidence that she can be clear, concise and humorous.
This second edition of "Magic? Who Needs It! - a modern fairy tale" has been updated to keep it 'modern'!.
