I live in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains in Alberta, Canada, where I find daily inspiration for writing poetry and fiction. My debut novel Eden’s Daughter was released by BWL Publishing Inc. in August 2025.

I launched my novel Eden’s Daughter in my hometown last weekend. Fitting, as it is a Saskatchewan story set in the 1970s when I grew up. This homecoming was particularly sweet.

I am pleased to announce that my novel Eden's Daughter will be published by BWL Publishing Inc. in August 2025. Set in Saskatchewan, Canada in the 1970s, it is the story of a woman's search for the child she was forced to give up for adoption as a teenager.

“What an honour to be closely read and thereby known.” Last year I wrote a review of this poetry collection by Juleta Severson-Baker and last night I finally got to meet her. She signed my rather ragged copy and I will always treasure it.

I don’t want to think about politics. I want to dream about petals and hummingbirds. And write. That too.

Wrote for several hours today. Novel number two, as yet untitled. Photo: a peaceful green space in La Quinta CA. Probably my last vacation in the US for a very long time, sadly.

Vacation is over and I’m back in snowy Alberta. (This photo taken on our last evening in Palm Springs.) I met with a writer friend for coffee today then attended my writer’s group in Diamond Valley. Writers always warm up my days.

Finished editing my novel, sent it to a couple of indie publishers, and now on vacation with my love. Nice to put my writing on a shelf for a few days while in Borrego Springs CA.

A good read but now I am re-editing the manuscript I thought I finished last year. When is a writer ever done?
