In addition to my art and sculptures, I enjoy writing. Below are some of my books which are now available as digital downloads. There are always new ones in the pipeline so pop back and take a look sometime.
Think retirement is all sunny mornings and endless leisure? Think again. In this refreshingly real and often humorous guide, retirement comes alive through five amusing and interconnecting short stories that follow a cast of characters as they go about daily life: breakfast banter, coffee with a friend, a midday pint at the pub, a weekend when grown-up children and grandchildren arrive, and finally a group barbecue where everyone gathers.
Through these stories we glimpse the real challenges retirees face around purpose, health, and finances told with warmth, wit, and a light-hearted touch that makes even the tricky moments relatable. And then there’s Doris, the glamorous widow, artist, and dating-site adventurer who reminds us that retirement can be a new beginning, full of colour, courage, and possibility.
But this isn’t just storytelling. Each scene ends with exercises, quizzes, summaries, and discussion points designed to spark meaningful reflection and conversation. Sometimes playful, sometimes thought-provoking, these activities highlight how men and women often see things differently and offer advice on how to bridge those gaps with humour, understanding, and practical solutions. Whether it’s between partners, within families, or simply with yourself, these tools help turn insight into action.
This isn’t a list of quick fixes. It’s a surprisingly real, engaging, and uplifting way to explore retirement. One that leaves you better prepared, more connected, and more confident about embracing the next chapter with humour, insight, respect and love.

Heidi’s Cook Book
Healthy Homemade Food Just for Dogs - Expected due date: End of March 20026
My name is Heidi, and this is my very own cookbook.
With a little help from my adopted daddy - who I lovingly call ´DD´, I’ve put together my favourite homemade recipes for happy, healthy dogs everywhere. From balanced everyday meals to crunchy doggie cookies, tasty snacks, and cooling summer treats, this book is packed with dishes that will make tails wag.
Inside you’ll find wholesome recipes made with real ingredients, including gentle meals for sensitive tummies, hypoallergenic options, and even a few plant-based creations I whipped up for my veggie-loving friends. Along the way, I’ll also share some helpful tips and tricks that DD and I have learned about preparing nutritious food for our furry family members.
Whether you’re cooking a special treat or making daily meals from scratch, Heidi’s Cook Book is all about bringing love to the bowl, one healthy recipe at a time.
So grab your apron, call your pup to the kitchen, and let’s get cooking.
With love and wagging tails,
Heidi 🐾
