BIOGRAPHY
I have always been a creative type, and began telling stories at the age of 6 when I was punished and sent to my room. My instructions were to not play, not read, not colour – just sit on my bed and think about what I had done. To quell the boredom, I started making up stories, which I would tell herself – out loud – even though no one was listening.

I started writing down her stories at the age of nine, using school composition books, letters to pen pals and school newspapers to tell stories. I moved into a career as a journalist, writing feature stories for magazines and newspapers across North America. My first published book, The Girl in the Gold Bikini was well received and has accidentally started a movement among women who want to reclaim their own version of the gold bikini. My second memoir, Murder on My Mind, spurred women to start speaking their truth about their journeys through menopause. Spent is my third memoir, and focusses on her decade as a retail manager.

Shift, the first book in my middle grade series is slated for publication in 2023 by Roan & Weatherford Publishing.
