I’m a Canadian nonfiction writer and essayist. My work has been published in literary and lifestyle magazines, most notably: Dorothy Parker's Ashes, Read650, Talking Writing, The South Shore Review, Canada’s History Magazine, Dreamers Creative Writing, Roi Faineant,  Five Minute Lit, and Split Rock Review.

 

For many years I was a social worker, but realized that what I enjoyed was writing newsletters, life histories, and case notes. I left that world behind shortly after marrying a British man whose job relocated us to Wisconsin, Montana, Scotland, and the British Virgin Islands.  

 

In the past twelve years, my husband and I have moved ten times, witnessed five of our six children get married, and welcomed new additions to our blended family with the birth of seven grandchildren. In 2014 we moved back to my homeland of Canada and now live in Stratford, Ontario.
