After completing my Masters in Education, Teacher Librarianship I became very interested in teenage realistic fiction and Bibliotherapy: Good books = informed, happier reader.

Having taught K - 12 students for a number of years I am very aware of teenage concerns in today's world.

In my books Talk to Me I have written about four girls who through creating a blog and their daily lives are confronted with several traumatic issues:

- eating disorders
- self mutilation
- cyberbullying
- divorced parents
- school pressures
