I began writing fiction about 10 years ago. Before that, I earned my keep as an actress, stand-up, and/or journalist/editor. I left Canada in 2001 and have lived in San Francisco and Austin, TX.
I'm currently finishing a B.A. in English at Texas State University. (My first B.A. was in sociology.) I hope to continue on to an M.F.A. or at least an M.A. in literature.
My two dogs--a Staffordshire terrier and a blue heeler/lab mix--my husband (former Bostonian), and my son (my hero) all inspire me to stay creative.
I spend a lot of time watching hockey on TV -- a long-standing Leafs fan. The sport keeps me connected to my home and native land. I watch as much for the love of the sounds of blades on ice, hearing the fans in the stands sing my national anthem, and the accents of the Canadian announcers as I do for the sport itself.
