Hello
The idea of writing a blog came to me on a road trip in the summer of 2017 during a 1000 miles road trip from Boston, Massachusetts, to Savannah, Georgia and back with my husband (Mr B) and my best friend (BFF).
​
Once I’d started writing, I couldn’t stop – the words just flowed and the website www.mytop5ofeverything. com was born with the help of the multi-talented Beki Hawley.
​

Before long the kernel of an idea for a novel was planted after a trip to Cape Cod. I watered the idea and it grew – into a first draft of 80,000+ words. Many drafts later and I am embarking on a new career path as I’m hitting semi-retirement – as an author, with my first novel, A New England Escape.
​
I’m a wife, a friend, a mum and a grandma to 4 beautiful children.
