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, Dreamers Creative Writing, Canada’s History Magazine, Roi Faineant,  Five Minute Lit, and Split Rock Review.

 

For many years I was a social worker, but realized that what I really 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 eleven years, my husband and I have moved nine 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 on a pretty lake in SW Ontario.
