A little about me
I always have more than one work-in-progress. I own too many journals, and I love red licorice, buttered popcorn, and chocolate–not together. Photos from my favourite vacation spot are below. I’m grateful for coffee shops where I can go to kick-start stalled projects. I love music, old films (TCM is my friend) and am learning to sing jazz. You can see how much I love it below.
The best fun I’ve had in the last couple of years has been writing Hallmark-style screenplays. A Cowboy Christmas was filmed in Saskatchewan in 2023 and should be on Canadian streamers in 2024.
I can’t imagine my life without writers, watching them become motivated and empowered, and reading the great work that they create. I love leading workshops and passing on writing tips to writers of all ages.
I was also a freelance writer, writing about everything from orchids to wind turbines to weddings to PVC pipe. I live in Ontario, Canada where I taught English and communications for over 20 years, so I can analyze the odd novel and parse a sentence, too. 🙂
