About the Author
I lived 'off-the-land' for over a decade while bringing up my children, and I love to share my practical experiences with everyone who wants to improve their lifestyle, or anyone who's prepared to listen! I've published a number of books, and am currently writing Kindle books as I'm a big fan of having great information at your fingertips. There are mini guides to growing various vegetables - great if you only want to grow a few carrots and don't want to buy the whole gardening book. And herb books that will transport you into a herbal wonderland of magical plants.My website is growing in helpful blog posts and lists all my books and projects, including some free downloads. http://www.healthylivingbooks.org/Join my Healthy Living Books page on Facebook so you don't miss new posts https://bit.ly/2s5Eq2aLast year I launched a new project that's going global already :-) The Ekokids have their own Facebook page and welcome you to pop over and see what's going on whenever you feel like it ... following the organic approach, I figured toys that inspire and encourage imagination without adding more plastic to oceans and landfills must be a good thing
