I am, or have been, everything from a professional Polynesian
dancer and fitness competitor to a mushroom farmer and
church secretary. Most of my time now is spent homeschooling
or playing with our five year old son or in front of my computer
writing.

I've been writing for about five years. My publishing history
includes some non-fiction articles for the fitness arena and a
few of short stories (listed below).

My pet peeves include clutter, wet socks, and being cold
(which is a common occurrence in B.C.!) I LOVE meeting
writers and readers of any kind. If you've found yourself at my
website, please stop by
my contact page and drop me a note
to say hello.
