Let me tell you a little bit about myself.
I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, with my husband.
I think I was born reading. By the time I was in Grade four the
librarian had me reading books and doing book reports so she
could classify the books for higher grades.
I started writing my first book when
I was 23 and actually got one
chapter written. For some reason I
thought that if you had a good idea
for a book, then sat down and started
writing it, the story would just flow
out. Boy, did I get a surprise!
When I was 49 I decided that if I had an ambition to write, then I better get serious
about it.
I write for both adults and children. My children's e-books included two e-books: "Kelly's Baby
Brother" and "Christmas Stars". "Christmas Stars" was named one of the best e-books for 2002! I've
also written two anti-bully books for children: "The Bully" and "Why Me?" "The Bully" is also
available in e-book format as well as a print book.
My short stories and have been published in "Western Producer", "A Cup of Comfort for Christmas",
"Winnipeg Parent", "Zygote", "Mysterical-e", "Columbia" and "Green Prints".
While taking a writing class with the University of Winnipeg I was asked if I wanted
to help an older gentleman with his memoirs. That was the beginning of a wonderful
relationship with Hungarian author, Alex Domokos. To date we have collaborated on
several books together. He jokes that he gives me the bones and I supply the flesh
and blood.
We must do a pretty good job! Our print novel "Body Traffic" was short-listed for the Margaret
Laurence Book Award, and our e-books have won numerous awards. We have also collaberated on
a collection of short stories entitled "Ten Chocolates From the Box". You can find our books, poems
and short-stories by visiting:

Please check out my children's books page. There you will also find
a book for parents to help them identify and deal with bullies who may be targetting their
children.
Our children's e-books feature several themes, including sibling rivalry, compassion for animals and bullying.
Our anti-bully, books include information for children, parents and teen girls.
