I'm a writer and former journalist with five published books: two novels, a radio play, a parenting manual, and a book of humorous essays. My first novel, Some of Skippy's Blues (Robert Davies, 1998), won the Alberta Writers' Guild Best Novel award. 

The next, Displaced Persons (NeWest Press, 2004), won the AWG's Trade Fiction award, was nominated for the Ontario Library Association's Evergreen Award, and was described by the Globe and Mail as an "excellent mystery ... that leaves you wanting to read on and on". 

In 2011, my collection of humorous essays, 60 is the new 20: A boomer's guide to aging with grace, dignity, and what's left of your self-respect, was published by Mediscript Communications.

Currently, I live and write in Port Moody, BC, and am completing a historical fiction novel called Harrow Road set in the late 19th century.  I plan to upload a chapter each week and look forward to your feedback.
