She was always encouraged by her parents and teachers to broaden her rather extensive imagination.
Esther first started writing short stories as a hobby at the tender age of eleven. She was constantly told by family and friends that something should be done with them but never took her writing seriously, until one fateful night in the winter of 2002. After yet another nagging conversation on the telephone with her Aunty Janet, Esther promised she would dedicate her first book to her and she would see it in print within her lifetime. That very night, Janet’s life was taken by a sudden, massive heart attack. It was an omen that motivated Esther to write The Winter Mare, the first in a three-part story.
A lot of her time as an adult has been taken up with caring for the horses in the riding school where she works, and she has gained a lot of inspiration from the animals she works with.view less
