Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am Welsh (small country in the British Isles 🙂 I came to the US in 1993. I am a self taught artist and own a gallery on Chincoteague Island, VA. I wrote my first book last year ” The Come’ere, from Wales to Chincoteague Island) as an inspirational memoir for others. My second book details the romance and nature of Chincoteague Island. Rather like that wonderful book year’s ago by Peter Mayle, “A Year in Provence.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
” A Year on the Tump” A romance memoir about our wonderful island. The changing seasons, colorful locals and marvelous nature all around us. How can you not write about Chincoteague Island.
