For the past 30 years Shandy has been a writer of
published letters, training manuals, poetry,
short stories and articles in local newspapers,
professional and church magazines.

She qualified with a Diploma in 2000 from Longridge
Writers Group Connecticut, United States -
finally breaking into print.

Being involved with teaching children and adults
(disabled and able bodied) for many years, as well as
having a wealth of experience with her own 2 children,
3 stepchildren, 13 grandchildren and one great
grandchild, she has at last become a published author.

Married to Ray since 1976, together they have been
closely involved with a Christian Political Party in South
Africa as well as voluntary work to the community.
They now live and work in the United Kingdom.

Shandy's ultimate desire to publish a book that will
leave an inheritance for her grandchildren has now been
fulfilled. 'Papilio' - a delightful story that will capture
readers of all ages.
