Tina left school at 16 years and worked in banking for a while, then decided to explore other occupations.
She has faced a lot of situations in her life, one of them being diagnosed with leukaemia in 2001. She sought to live life fully after a traumatic year and after achieving remission. Tina wanted to grab life by the horns and enjoy every moment.
A few years ago, she enrolled on adult community college courses and eventually found a creative writing class. This was something she really enjoyed and used to write short stories and poems for her homework.
She retired a few years ago, and after always wanting to write a children’s story book, she decided to do just that. Apart from writing, Tina enjoys other creativity; she designs and makes fashion jewellery for friends and family.
Tina is considered to be bubbly and imaginative, and that is how she creates her delightful and entertaining characters in her stories.
