Megan Bayliss is a retired social worker who loves fair trade and helping people reach their full potential.

Her husband, Paul Martin is an accountant and small business consultant.

Put them together and you get the commercialisation of Christmas turned into a spirit and value of goodwill that helps small business, all year long.

An author, a website developer, a trainer, a fair trade seller, a bibliotherapist and guest speaker with a professional background in helping children and families, Megan never stops.

A freelance writer, Megan can write for your newsletter or trade magazine.  Megan can build you a website and ghost blog for your business blog too and teach you how to use the net to grow your message,  brand or presence. Check out Megan’s daily practice writing site to view her different voices and genres.

designer of the BITSS model of protective behaviours (right), and

Megan, her two youngest children, and husband Paul Martin live in beautiful Cairns, right on the Great Barrier Reef. Megan was born and grew up in Papua New Guinea and has a love affair with the tropics. As much as she threatens to leave, Megan is never away for long because people in away places wear cardigans and jumpers! Holidays in the cold are acceptable but Megan always returns to her beloved Northern sanctuary where rainforest kisses the ocean shore.

Megan LOVES dogs, fair trade chocolate, children and fresh flowers. A mother of four and grand mother of two, Megan has semi retired from Social Work to write and to smell the fresh flowers that get sent to her on occasion (she’s too lazy to grow her own!).
