Kukla Mou - the Little Greek Princess

The king was so overwhelmed to see his first grandchild born, that when he held her, he exclaimed "Kukla Mou, Kukla Mou" which meant 'my doll' in Greek. Sometimes he would tell her stories about the Butterflies and how in the spring in a special garden, they would land on your shoulder. Then some years later, the king suddenly became very sick. Poor Kukla Mou couldn't understand why her papa couldn't see her, or play with her any more!

TREVI FORMEA is the pen-name of Jo-Anna Rose.
She is an Australian 'Baby Boomer' raised in the southern suburbs of Brisbane, Queensland, and was born the youngest of four children (refer: A BABY BOOMER - At any age).
In 1966, when 'Trevi' was 15, she won an essay competition which posed the question - 'What would you do if you were cast away on a deserted island with Elvis Presley?' The competition was organized through the then popular but now defunct magazine - EVERYBODY'S. The first prize for each state Australia wide - was a week for two, all expenses paid including air-fares, to beautiful Brampton Island Resort situated in tropical Queensland's Barrier Reef. Trevi was their youngest contestant and her essay impressed the sponsors and judges so much, that they 'awarded' her with a special 'junior' category equivalent prize. Trevi took her mum with her on the holiday.
Trevi was raised a Catholic, but disillusioned after 33yrs, went searching for the truth in other religions, including Mormon and Pentecostal - finally becoming a Lutheran, to which she has remained to this day.

Trevi was suddenly widowed at 47 years old, with her two youngest daughters Renee 16 and Jackie 6 to raise. Her youngest Jackie, suffering from Asperger Syndrome (refer 'JACKIE PETER PAN').
After relocating to Russell Island in Queensland's south-east corner in August 2002 with Jackie - then 9 yrs old and her 4th husband, Trevi took on the position of reporter with their local paper 'The Island Spirit'. Not only as their only ace reporter but managing advertising and their paper formatting. Trevi has also had miscellaneous poems and stories published through the island's 'Writer's Circle', as well as various short stories in other popular magazines including 'That's Life' in 2000.
In March 2013, Trevi met a local couple (Dennis and Jeannie) who were new 'indie' authors/writers themselves, and together they introduced her to 'self-publishing' on e-readers, encouraging Trevi to publish her stories through smashwords.com. A whole new world for writing opened up, and Trevi became a die-hard fan of and contributor to, the delights of modern technology.
