Drawing
from her experience with newborn twins Max and Lucie, Paula started
her writing career in Dubai after having founded a support group
for families of multiples called Twins, Triplets Or More (TTOM).
Initially writing about the issues facing parents of multiples,
Paula then went on to work with regional magazines and newspapers
covering topics such as lifestyle, parenting as well as social
issues.
The
support network formed by TTOM allowed parents to share the ideas
and advice that they had developed to cope with their own challenges.
As founder, Paula learned of and shared many valuable ways to
save time, money, effort and most importantly, sanity. She noticed
that while there were numerous books available on raising children,
none of them offered the sort of simple, practical solutions in
an easy-to-read format that she was looking for.
With
more writing credits to her name, Paula approached Zodiac Publishing
to make her dream of writing a book encompassing all the good
ideas she had collated a reality. Recognising the huge potential
in this project, the Zodiac Publishing team set about producing
the first title in the Pearls of Wisdom series, Pearls of Wisdom
- From Pregnancy to Pre-school.
Paula
currently lives in Dubai with her husband Chris and their 4 year-old
twins, Max and Lucie. They are planning to relocate to the UK
in early 2005. |
