About the Author

I look back on my life and marvel at where life has taken me. I was born in South Africa, and adopted shortly after my birth. Three years later we moved back to Calcutta India. Life there was a constant adventure. There was so much to see in a country so filled with history. My schooling was just as adventuresome at eight. I was sent to Switzerland to attend Chatelard School, nestled in the Swiss Alps in the tiny village of Les Avants above Montreux. At thirteen we moved to the United States and settled in Connecticut. I attended Rosemary Hall, after graduation I went on to college graduating with a degree in Art. Soon after graduation I was married and I have two children, a son and a daughter, both of whom have settled in New England near me. I am happy that I had the opportunity to travel and see so much of the world, which gave me experiences to last a life time. Now I am content passing the time remembering the good old days; “fodder for another book.”
