She fell in love with reading, then writing when she learned English at primary school. Branching out, she started writing plays which she took on the road, to Class 4B \u0026amp; C. Poetry replaced plays when, aged 9, she got paid $5 for her first ever publication - A Ballad of War. As an adult, she has worked in the arts, education, publishing and charity sectors, writing in secret at all these workplaces.
