My World

My Story

I love to write. To sit at my desk, or lay on my bed, and let my imagination conjure characters that I have never met. I don’t have a particular genre. As a creative author I am just getting started. I write what comes to me. One day soon, I plan to finish the novel that has been in my heart for many years. In the meantime, there are short stories to put together, flash fiction to play around with, and contests to enter. We really are limited only by our imagination.

 

I love Iphone photography. Taking photos helps me see things in a different, often a new, light. It opens my world. Feeds my creativity.

 

I was born, raised, and live in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. I started my career as a journalist, then moved to communications. I became a teacher at 53 and spend part of the year as an Adult Basic Education instructor in Nain, Nunatsiavut.

 

I won an Arts and Letters Award for Non-fiction in 2023. My work is published in Prairie Fire magazine, Horseshoe Literary Magazine, The Muse, Edible Newfoundland and Labrador, and Word magazine. You can find me in the Close Calls with Nature anthology. In newspapers. And online.

 

You can find me here.

 

Enjoy!

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT...I live on the unceded traditional lands of the following Indigenous tribes: the Beothuk, the Mi'kmaq, the Innu, and the Labrador Inuit.

 

I am grateful to those who cared for the land before us, and are proud to be able to work here on the traditional lands of my people, alongside the settlers of other nations of the world that came to K'Taqmkuk and stayed! 

let's talk

Thanks for submitting!
