In her spare time, Collette writes and creates stories of love lost and found.

There are so many beautiful quotes that Collette uses often in her work, but the one that inspires her greatly is by Rumi, the Persian Poet [1207 – 1273] … “Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field.  I will meet you there.”      

Collette lives in Cape Town with her phenomenal husband of 25 years, their two daughters and two particularly ADORABLE, pampered felines.
