edit data

I believe that the power of creativity is magic; it influences the emotions of readers, listeners, and viewers. I promise to weave that magic into everything I create. Accompanied of course by some adventure, a bit of romance, and a touch of humor.

I live in the Greater Vancouver area on Canada’s west coast, and I’m happily married with three wonderful daughters. After spending many years working in Information Technology, I retired into my creative pursuits, writing fantasy novels, playing guitar and composing music.

Thoroughly enjoyed this. I love the way the main character changes how she presents herself to manipulate those around her, not because she wants to, but because she must to achieve the goals she’s been set. The magic and world building were also gre ...more
