Of Māori Scottish and Irish ancestry, I feel the urge to write when I can no longer deal with the pain and suffering that is projected into my life by way of social network, media and at times having to live within a society that intrudes upon your soul whether you want it to or not. Now in my 50’s, I find I am drawn to the written word as a form of protest at the world and it’s cruelty and a personal release.
