edit data

Having spent 25 years in the classroom with junior and senior high school students, I love to write for teens. I have my feet firmly planted in two worlds -- the arts and sports. When I'm not writing, there's nothing I'd rather be doing than watching football, baseball, or hockey, travelling, riding my motorcycle, or going to plays. I hope you enjoy meeting my characters as much as I've enjoyed bringing them to life. ...more

On Vellum

I purchased Vellum a few months ago and used it to format my first poetry collection--Something's Different: A COVID Journal in Verse. I am now using it to format the first instalment of a new series tentatively titled Winds of Change. I confess I have fallen in love with editing/revising in this format, as opposed to seeing my manuscript in a (dare-I-say boring?) Word document. Vellum is remarkab Read more of this blog post »

What a pageturner! Egan has crafted another dynamite YA novel, complete with a creepy premise, loveable teen characters, diabolical adult villains, and high stakes plot. Highly recommend!

Quotes by Maureen Ulrich (?)

“My mom can’t seem to get used to the fact that Estevan is a much safer city than Saskatoon. She’s way too protective of both Courtney and me. She won’t let me have my own cell phone or computer or get a part-time job. And I can only go on MSN for one hour a day. That really sucks.”
― Maureen Ulrich, Power Plays

“Would I be any good at hockey? I wonder. No. Those bulky hockey pants would be uncomfortable and I’d have to learn new rules. It would be embarrassing to be so far behind the other players.”
― Maureen Ulrich, Power Plays

“Six weeks later and I’m still the “new girl.” And probably will be until somebody else comes along. I hope it’s soon.”
