Author Bio

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: www.domokos.com
