The Official Website For Auriol Hays
I spend a great amount of time with Gilda who runs TLC Alzheimer’s Homes. It is a privilege being their ambassador. She is very health conscious and I make tea when she wants a cuppa – all manner of teas. Hers is the voice of the main narrator in the book I penned. Also, she […]
The path of the musician is never an easy one. Add in a heartbreak or three and it’s near impossible to function normally. But first a confession. I live with ghosts.
