I'm an octogenarian, great grandmother, Storyteller, Australian TED Finalist and award winning filmmaker. I worked on the original Star Trek for producer Gene Coon and arrived in Australia via the hippie trail where i've been ever since and where I wrote my book. 

I helped Malcolm X push start his car. Martin Luther King told me a joke that made me blush. Bill Russell let me drive his Lamborghini. Boxing champion heavyweight Archie Moore taught me how to throw a punch. My friend Octavia Butler insisted that I write a book. I finally have, and I want to make sure nobody misses out.
