About the author

Since childhood I've loved to write stories. I write for the joy of expression.

To date I have 28 paperback books published and numerous short stories which dare to stand alone; 78+ publications in total. My books are available in both Kindle and Paperback formats. Five of my books are also available as audiobooks on Amazon, Audibles, and ITunes.

I am an eclectic reader and writer. I'm not locked into a single genre.

I have written three books for children: The Last Drop; At The Edge of His World; and Beyond The Blue. All are available in Kindle format. The Last Drop & Beyond The Blue are now also available in paperback.

Several of my poems have been published by White Mountain Publications and The Ontario Poetry Society. My first book of poetry titled "Poetry from A to Z" is now available in both paperback and kindle editions.

POartRY and PROSE contains a merging of my passions which are writing and painting folk art.

MORE POartRY and PROSE is the second in this series.

I'm currently working on POartRY and PROSE, the Third.

I love to write creatively. I have celebrated my 17th writing anniversary. Whether you choose to read my poetry, my novels, novellas,short story anthologies, or a short story that dares to stand alone, it is my hope that you will enjoy the read.

And I haven't forgotten the children. I have written 3 story books; Beyond the Blue, a coming of age novella; The Last Drop for the very young about a rainy day; and the most recent Elephant and the Bumbly Bee, who share their travel adventures with the young reader.
