Wishing and Writing

Welcome! I write picture books, middle-grade fiction, graphic novels, and poetry. I live in Ottawa with my family where woodland creatures have overtaken our neighbourhood. I’m a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers & Illustrators (SCBWI) and the Canadian Authors Association, where I also volunteer assisting with social media communications for the National Capital Region (CAA NCR).

My short stories and poems for young readers are published or forthcoming in The Caterpillar, The Dirigible Balloon, The Toy, Paddler Press, and Cricket Magazine. My poetry for adults has appeared in Hearth & Coffin, Haikuniverse, DarkWinter Literary Magazine, and Consilience Journal, with another piece forthcoming in Polar Starlight.
