About

Hello, Welcome to The Bee and her books.
I am ginger, happily married to the best husband in the world, daydreamer, tea (and can you believe it) & coffee lover. Baking enthusiast, book reviewer, immigrant and poet, author, blogger....

Born many moons ago in the South of Germany I have filled many roles in my life. Some include shop assistant, social worker, volunteer.

I graduated from Katholische Fachhochschule in Muenster, Germany with a degree in Social Work in 1996 and gained experience as a self-employed social worker in social care until my mental health stopped me in my tracks in 2001. I delivered newspapers, lead a choir, managed youth groups and worked as a fishmonger.

Through all this, I have been writing poetry gradually growing into blogging about poetry, creative writing and mental health. And I immigrated to the UK long before Brexit made it a crime. And now I am creating the books I have always been looking for. Thanks for shopping with The Bee
