Welcome to Barefoot Tales, my writing home.

I write to open opportunities for change where our world is oppressed, damaged, suffering, silenced. I write to amplify the voices that are ignored and marginalised. I write to seek truth, justice and love. I call this barefoot writing.

Barefoot writing to me is the telling of tales that have a flow and rhythm we find in nature. Tales that arise from and speak into our world, stories, myths, fables, narratives, verse, songs, and pictures.

I write about the people, places, problems and joys of this world that I am passionate about.

I write fiction, poetry, non-fiction, research narratives, educational materials and developmental tools. It’s all barefoot writing because it rises from passion and heart. I do writing with shoes on too, writing is a craft that we never finish learning, and the tools of the craft are like shoes that help you across stony ground.

Sometimes I write with dancing shoes. Writing should be fun and lift our spirits, lead us tapping and twirling through our day. Sometimes I write with boots on. Strong boots that stamp on injustice. Clumsy boots, putting both my feet in it.
