I write short fiction and creative nonfiction. My work has been published in journals and magazines in Canada, the US, and New Zealand.
Travel and outdoor activities often inspire me. I've done a lot of both. Growing up, my family moved from Nova Scotia to Manitoba to Ontario to Rome, Italy, and back to Nova Scotia again. As an adult, I backpacked for a year with my mountain-climbing husband. The colour of glacial lakes and the scent of frangipani are etched in my memory. I will never forget the friendly Tibetans in Zhangmu, the orangutans of Borneo, or crutching hoggets in New Zealand. Some of these experiences have turned up in stories already. Some are still waiting.
