edit data

I was born and raised in Southern Saskatchewan, Canada, the setting for my new novel Eden’s Daughter. Today, I live in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains in Alberta, Canada, where I find daily inspiration for fiction and poetry.

My poems have appeared in (M)othering: an anthology (Inanna Publications); Wild Roof Journal, Issue 17; the League of Canadian Poets’ Poetry Pause; and WordCity Literary Journal. One of my poems was selected as a winner of Fort Calgary’s 2024 Chinook Poetry Prize.

Eden’s Daughter was published by BWL Publishing Inc. in August 2025.
